Is this Vigil as in Tracy?

Download at whatever speed you have and then watch afterwards without worrying about live streaming rates. Not exactly the easiest software to use though.

That's Virgil IIRC. No, (HMS) Vigil - Trident submarine....latest series on BBC from the people who made Line of Duty.

It downloads the whole thing and saves it on your computer to watch later, so in that situation it'll just take four times as long to download as it will to watch. Since you're not trying to download and watch at the same time, which is basically what streaming does, it doesn't matter that one isn't as fast as the other - you can just give it several hours' head start.

I managed 2 episodes, but it got very silly very quickly.

Presumably it runs on a Mac ?
Runs on Linux/BSD (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenBSD and others), macOS (10.10+), Windows (7/8/10)

I've only ever used it on Ubuntu, but I find it works very well indeed. It's worth keeping it up to date with the latest version - it tends to get updated when the BBC change things.
