Andrewcrawford23 - those MS links gives me poor speeds.

Mr-Hare... open http://speedtest.net/ and look for the Manchester server then test - move your mouse cursor to the little white dot on the map below (don't click on the tab) begin test recommend server which upper left - two options will appear Manchester and Liverpool.. click on Manchester. bear in mind the sites flash/graphics hungry so it may not perform well if you've got a slow system.

you can also test via VM server files (download a file) - http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyondergames/demos/

we have also establish you have internet problem regardless if it clones or not, gamefiles isnt good enough for 50mb and above hence why i dnt use it anymore microsoft has a 10gb backbone with about 100 server farms they have plenty of bandwidth i easily get 6.4mb/s from one file
