Thank you very much for your response! I have tried what you adviced, but my problem still persists. It looks to me that this issue is specific to the PL content on Peacock. When I tried to download another content (such as episode from movie series), it downloaded OK without any problems at all. If you have time, can you please try to download one of this weekend PL matches to see if it works for you? Thanks!

You're most welcome! And I agree, I think it's PL content that's the issue, and not VPN access.
Here's what I've got so far: I can also download movies without issue, just as you can. When I got that error on the Chelsea v. Bournemouth replay - again, without a VPN. which Chameleon is convinced blocks everything - which is about 7 hours old at this time, I figured newer content might not be accessible and so tried for the replay of Gunners v. West Ham (same file as they downloaded, above) which dropped on the 26th.
THAT will download, but it took its own sweet bloody time doing it.
And the result is - a file that's 2:53:54 long, but that's only 116MB as it has no video, only audio. So, same result as yours. Again, that's
without a VPN.
