I believe this is a flash problem...

It also happens with the BBC iPlayer, with the same timing.  I'm not sure about Mplayer: I left the CBC on one night and it seemed to crash at about the same time - just white noise - but later it was back again.  That killall command looks useful, I must try it.
How does one become a hero?  By asking a lot of dumb questions apparently! I have three computers of various ages, the most powerful is a Dell Netbook 10v; each has 2 or 3 versions of PCLOS of various vintages.  Location, St John's, Newfoundland.

The BBC iplayer is a flash interface. The underlying content is other things, but the front end is flash.

You might be able to write a script that would stop and restart your sessions at a convenient interval, say every four hours. Then you would only miss a little bit and not lose the entire download.
