Anything with kontiki or another k word in it are peer to peer and I don't do peer to peer which is why I uninstalled the BBC download manager.  That is the sum of my knowledge on the subject 

[Rik]

Me too, Ann.

Multicast and iPlayer are 2 completely seperate products at the moment. I believe the BBC were working on integrating live streaming using multicast via iPlayer but this hasn't materialised. Obviously too busy with lord only knows what stupid projects.

Obviously they don't bother with a spell checker.. 

[Rik]

They were probably using IE.

i've also spent several hours searching for how to turn on igmp on the 2wire. Thinking about it, i wonder if it is done via a different setup code. I might email 2wire and ask!

Lance, if you go to http://home/xslt?PAGE=J30 on the router, there's an option that can be checked for IGMP Querier.  What does that do?  I haven't tried it.. too scared.. but should I?

[Lance]

I can't remember what it does, but i'm pretty sure i've tried it and it didn't work.

From memory, the only way to get it enabled would be for the isp (ie bt) to remotely manage the router and for them to turn it on.

[Ann]

That makes sense.  So that's one downside of the router.  Shame.

And the sparrows sat on the telegraph wires bring a new meaning to a BT swarm    sorry

Too late, once touched...

[Rik]

Where did you find marigolds in flower at this time of year?
