Would any kind person be prepared to download this BBC prog on to a disc and post it to me in Europe (for payment) please?

It's this one:

Natural World : A Farm for the Future

... a truly fascinating programme!

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00j1g27

It will be available to download for 5 more days apparently.

I tried to video it when it was broadcast by the BBC's sound zone but for some reason it hasn't recorded ...

I'd be very grateful and happy to pay a decent sum for your trouble!

I clicked to have a look for you but it says HERE that its no longer available for download??

Also, HERE it says that once you download it, it is only available to play for a certain amount of time so I'm not sure if you can download it then put it on disc IYSWIM?

I also found THIS site which gives different ideas for trying to view or download the programme from outside the uk.

Oh Holy - you are kind to take that trouble -thanks!!

Can't understand about it being no longer available through Iplayer - it stated it was still good for 5 days this morning! Hey ho!

That last link is brilliant - although I have yet to discover what a 'torrent' is!! Will persevere ...

A torrent is basically a file (video, music etc etc). You need a 'torrent downloader' of which there are many available. My DH uses utorrent.

Imagine you want to download a programme and 5 people have it. A torrent downloader will download a little bit of the programme (torrent) from each of the people who have it, giving you a quicker download. When you have downloaded it, you can then allow people to download a little bit from you. It's considered good manners to allow this for a little while once you have done this but it's up to you. A torrent downloader basically allows you to download from a network of lots of people who fileshare.

PS: If you download anything make sure you run a virus check on it before you open it.

Thanks again HolyG for your very clear description! I had honestly never heard of it before ...It's amazing what is on offer technology-wise nowadays. I find it mind-boggling!

Still struggling with the specifics of downloading this partic. prog but will perhaps ask dh for a bit of help tonight [pathetic female emoticon]

Hi Counting. Did you suss out how to get a copy of this? Several people have recommended "Farm For The Future" to me too, and I fear I may have missed the boat.

If you did manage to get a copy, I'll happily pay you for a copy of your copy!

Hi Scrumplet

Sorry for late response - just saw your post now.

No - I haven't quite worked it out yet. I did start but it didn't work and I haven't got back to it yet. Will happily make two copies if I work out how and send one to you. Watch this space!!
