How long,roughly, should it take to download an hour long programme from I player?

depends on your broadband - we are on orange - sometimes it's very quick, sometimes it takes ages!

How long is a piece of string.

It's depends on you connection speed, have a look here to find your connection speed

and here you can put the file size in and it will calculate roughly how long to download

Yes, it seems my broadband speed is well down. Thanks

[thetruthhurts]

Its taken over three hours so far and is showing one hour more to go!

[Dodger666]

I don't think that speed tester is very accurate. My max speed is 20Mbps. I usually run around 10/11Mbps. The above speed tester said my download speed was 26.5Mbps.

Mines 586 which is extremely low

[thetruthhurts]

I actually gave up downloading an hour long programme yesterday after 4 hours.

[roslyn251254]

Did your programme download eventually? I leave mine on all night when it's on a go slow.

roslyn that's not a bad idea!
