Since shortly before Christmas I have been experiencing problems with uploading files to my (free) Ntl website. (Prior to that I had no problems).
The problem occurs whether I use Terrapin FTP or whether I use Serif WebPlus 10 (where I create and amend my website).
I am on 20Mb upload - not that it ever approaches that speed.
The problem seems to be that Terrapin/WebPlus loses contact with the server intermittently - maybe only for a second at a time - which causes files to fail to upload altogether or to upload in a distorted fashion (noticed in graphics especially). If I upload a batch of files some will be OK and some will be distorted or missing. If I then upload the SAME batch of files the files which fail to upload or are distorted are not necessarily the same ones! What can be OK one time will fail the next etc. This makes uploading a whole page to the website a nightmare!
Has anyone else experienced this? It would help me in finding the cause if I knew whether it was just me or is a general complaint.
