(Leeds is ex-CWC area if that makes any difference)
I'm using a 600K broadband link off a STB onto an onboard ethernet card, Windows XP Home, SP1.

For over a year now, I have had proxy problems. If I configure my browser so that I let it automatically detect settings, I nearly always get attached to a proxy which corrupts files when I upload through the browser.

Email is fine, FTP is fine, but through the browser (IE6 SP1) files (especially binary files) are corrupted nearly every time.

This problem seems to occur when I get attached to hudd(ersfield) and leed(s) proxies.

As I say this has been going on for over a year, and is solved by permanently using a midd(lesbrough) proxy. So I have a workaround.

However, I want to use ActivePerl on my PC to send files to a server via HTTP, but these files just get corrupted every time.

How can I get ntl: to take this problem seriously and fix it? As I say it's a problem they have known about for over a year.
