I've been having problems downloading stuff from there for a while - it just gives a connection error each time.

I've never had a problem. I've just checked his latest shows. Maybe your silverlight is broke?

it's the actual download links that don't work for me - but I've not installed silverlight on here since the reinstall all the same

i haven't got silverlight either, i just usually get the downloads - the older shows still work for me, its just the recent ones that don't

if you copy the embed code into a post here, then preview it, you can at least watch them.

thank you for letting me know it was possible! the stream link works as well, just not the download - which is weird, because its the same link!

I'm managing to download it using the Real Player downloader - it's good for grabbing embedded videos. Just get the most recent free version of Real Player and you're sorted.

SDP Multimedia (link) seems to work. I have the connection type set to TCP (not https).

Hope that helps...
