Segment not available from server

Hi

First of all thanks for all the work to get gip working again.

I have suddenly discovered that some of my downloads are happening at
reduced resolution, on looking at the problem I have discovered that
with some programs I am getting a "Segment not available from server"
error, then it is aborting and dropping to a lower resolution, see
example below. (for information the previous episode of pointless
works fine)

I am guessing that this is a problem at the beeb end and not gip?

Dave
