"We have made the difficult decision to close the BBC iPlayer Downloads application for PC and Mac, due to the low number of people using it and the cost required to keep it going," the BBC explained in a post on its website.
It's only the ability of BBC iPlayer's desktop version to download programmes that's being brought to an end. The ability to stream them remains unchanged.
When iPlayer was first introduced, the availabilty of free wi-fi and/or a decent phone signal was limited. So iPlayer users were able to download a TV programme (while, say, at home and using their home broadband) and then watch it later (while, say, out and about somewhere with no internet connectivity). However very few people have been making use of that service in recent years because they can now stream iPlayer content directly over the internet (i.e. without the need to download it first). So that part of iPlayer's functionality is being dropped from its desktop version. (The mobile app will still retain that functionality though so that, for example, users can download a programme onto their phone and then watch it on a plane journey, even though their phone is in 'airplane mode' and thus without any connection to the internet).
Everything else about iPlayer remain unchanged.
