Determine what is playable and what not before letting bintube crash and mess up the download.
I've had this problem a few times.I tried to download and play with bintube an ISO. After the first 100 or so MB I wanted to start watching, since that is the cool thing about bintube... but the application crashed. I restarted BinTube then and wonder-o-wonder it still remembered I was downloading that file, so I pressed resume ... but now, in the end it had downloaded or padded twice the file size so the eventual file was way to big and made my VLC crash - even though it said in BinTube that is was a succesfull download. Strange thing was that in the playlist it already said the file was like 9,7GB even though the the file is only 4,3GB ... So after this unsuccesfull download I had to remove it completely and start over. After that it worked fine. So I suggest BinTube gets resuming after a crash fixed and somehow test ISO-files and others for playability before trying to play it.

The only way to prevent crashes 100% of the time is to disable auto-playback. When VLC crashes it unfortunately brings down the whole app and there is no reliable way to tell for sure if something is going to crash VLC.
To reduce the chance of an ISO playback bringing down the program delete or rename the extension of the following VLC plugin:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\libdvdnav_plugin.dll”
or
“C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\libdvdnav_plugin.dll”
We’ve also addressed the invalid sile size problem and the fix will be available in version 2.8.6
Cheers.

Thanx for the adequate respons, cause I really didn't like the bugs that slipt into the current version. All of a sudden many files seem to have the filesize problem and that in turn causes playback to mess up or completely fail. For now I could fall back to grabbit or something, but I just want my paid for usenet client to work properly as you might understand.
Offtopic: I'm very pleased with this uservoice/feedback system, more simple and efficient than a fullscale bugtrack system would be in this project and for this audience.
