Nothing but hangs today

[Clive]

Using Mint 11 and today, I have hardly had a clean download - having to 
try multiple times to get what I have, and have a long list of items 
that fail repeatedly. Using terminal for d/l and part way through, items 
simply hang then give time-out error messages, or not, quite often. 
--verbose for an episode of Sceptred Isles can be found here:

Hoping someone can tell if my problems are get_iplayer, the BBC or 
Virgin Media.

Thank you.

Clive
