UK Channel 4 (4oD) not working

I just purchased the VSO Downloader Ultimate key but cannot get downloads working from UK TV station Channel 4 with their 4oD service. It's frustrating as the adverts are downloaded OK & it looks like the encrypted file (>500MB) is downloaded 100% with hundreds of fragments but then something goes wrong & it ends up with "Download complete with error.."

w w w . channel4.xxx/programmes/doggy-styling/4od

Here are entries from the log file

File size too small: this may due to an anti-leech protection, in this case add the host of the server in the secure stream list.
File downloaded in 00:07:50
Process finished
all fragments have been merged
merger (706 event(s))
downloads (1403 evet(s))

I cannot post the links properly as I get this message in the forum "Your account does not have permission to post links or domain/page references." so I have munged them enough that the forum software doesn't complain

Hello,

I tried to use your links but I get
"This domain has been reserved from registration.

Have you tried doing what is suggested in the log: "add the host of the server in the secure stream list."?

That site is most likely UK only, does not accept connections from anywhere else.

That channel is same as all BBC channels. Access to video only from UK.
I can use proxy to get the video, but downloader might get problems because of proxy.

It's channel4.COM I typed in xxx because I am not able to post the proper URL because of the forum software.
