For about a fortnight I've been unable to upload any photos to my Flickr account. It doesn't matter if I try with the basic uploader, the desktop application, or the java based online application, none of them work.

I have tried using my main Win7 system (Zonealarm), my Laptop (XP and Kaspersky) and my netbook (Win7 and Zonealarm) with no luck.

Today I swapped out my router, a Buffalo jobbie, for the Virgin supplied WNR2000, again it made no difference.

There are some posts on the Flickr forums from people with similar problems, and I've run all the tests suggested on those forums. Flickr maintains it is down to the ISPs of the people concerned.

I can't think of anything else that might be causing this except Virginmedia, but it does seem rather unlikely. Does anyone else have problems uploading to Flickr from Virginmedia broadband?

I'm on the 50mb service.

Thanks.
