I think this will resolve itself by the start of january mate i suspect all the available bandwidth has been used up.

It's happened before. The server j-runner uses has used all the bandwidth allowed for this month. It will reset after the 1st. If you need dash files, you have to download and install them manually.
I offered to host the files for them as I have dedicated servers all over the US, however I never heard back from them so who knows.

Perhaps rather than just having one main server, a new feature could be added to J-Runner to connect to more than the main server (a mirror). If connection times out after certain length of time, it will attempt to reconnnect to a secondary sever and so on. I would say such thing is certainely needed considering the huge user base of the app and how frequently it get's updated.
Would it be possible to have it not run on a server? Just be like other programs where everything is based on that individual computer?

J-Runner doesn't need to be connected to a server to work and re-designing the application so that whenever a new version is released then it needs a full download is pointless and will clutter systems let alone that it will even use more bandwidth regardless of where it is being downloaded from.
The current update process is the most efficient if not the only efficient method. WYNConsoles offer might still be considered and is being looked into.
Wonder though the advertisment banner in the app, does that also load images from the same update server or somewhere else? Though this problem doesn't exist with JungleFlasher which loads the it's ad banner from the net as well.

The advertisement should be loaded from XConsoles servers IMO, this would reduce bandwidth on the JRunner update/file server.
Anyway, my server(s) are more than capable to be primary or mirror host and I have no problem doing it as I pay for the server hosting regardless.
What I would do is setup a separate VM just for this along with domain's for direct file download along with the JRunner update/file downloading etc. I believe everything is done via HTTP so web server, FTP, and some storage and it's good to go.
