No. Same reason as before - iPlayer does not work like YouTube. They both use Flash to display video, but that's the only similarity - the protocol and decompression behind the scenes is completely different.

This decision raised quite a few eyebrows and complaints from Apple and Linux users last year because those who paid the licence fee but did not have a Windows machine couldn't use this option. Very bad idea indeed to focus on a technology tied to only one OS. While I could accept Quicktime instead of WMV to allow DRM access for Apple and Windows users, it still put Linux users out. Until we can get a DRM option for all three OS I don't think you'll see a download option coming soon.
