Yes, when attempting resume is when it happens. I have to kill the process. 
I'm using the rtmp that is downloaded by windows get_iplayer installer.

For when download fails I make copies of the partial as it's downloading. 
Sometimes I can rename and use them to resume, sometimes not as rtmp 
generates error on file size. Any idea why some can be resumed and some 
not?
