Hello all<br><br>I'm trying to use BBC iPlayer on my lowly netbook. What's confusing me is that streaming the programmes works without a hitch, fluid fullscreen playback. If I download the files for offline watching then it really struggles, with lots of dropped frames. I've tried disabling compiz and it makes no difference at all. This is frustraing for me because I have a slow connection at home but a very fast one at work so I'd rather download a few files to watch in the evenings when streaming isn't possible.<br>
<br>Other than buying a beefier machine (not possible currently) can anybody give me any suggestions of things to try to get this working a little better?<br><br>For the record, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, restricted codecs installed, flash player 10 installed. Netbook is a EEE1000h with 2gb of RAM.<br>
<br>Cheers<br><br>Simon<br>
