MODS : Please feel free to delete if this post will get BBR in trouble with the BBC, thanks!

Am trying to get a copy of a "BBC Panorama" episode.

»www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0···onaires/

The BBC iplayer does not stream outside of .uk and all the proxies I have access to crap out. Could you please help me out by grabbing a copy for me. Apparently it can be grabbed using "iplayer downloader", ( I tried, but it did not work for me - crappy proxies I guess ) , it may be possible to grab it via the downloadhelper firefox extension ; not sure if that extension works with the bbc iplayer ). But users in the .UK can watch and save a copy of the video ( there is no save option on the website but you can save it using the instructions below )

The instructions I got are :
-------------

1) Visit »po-ru.com/diary/iplayer-download···-masses/ and read/download the 'ipdl.exe' file [ if you get a DLL missing error read again ]
2) Run the program and in the Programme ID path put in "http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00jqgww/b00jqgpc/Panorama_Slumdogs_and_Millionaires/" (without quotes) and click 'Download'. The video will then be downloaded for you to watch offline.

{I had to get the following DLLS for that program to work * msvcp71.dll & msvcr71.dll }

-------------

A friend of mine who lives and works in Dubai, United Arab Emirates wanted to watch it, apparently this episode of Panorama is very critical of that country and they are gonna block BBC on cable because it.

If you are able to grab the file, will supply credentials for a FTP where you can upload the .mov file. PM me. ( apparently the file is a quicktime file ).

Thanks , and I hope that you can help out a fellow BBR user.

{{ Special thanks to the .UK BBR users who got my request as a PM }}
