30mbit package since it came out, prior to that it was 20mbit, Telephone M, TV M
The modem/router is a Superhub
Firefox 3.6.24, and my PC is a custom built system built to order by a friend, not an off the shelf system, specs are AMD Phenom II 1090T overclocked, 4GB RAM, 2 ATI 5850HD cards in crossfire, can't remember the motherboard.
I appreciate you guys investigating it. I hope I've provided enough information to look into it.

That's excellent, very much appreciate you taking the time to post this.
If anyone reading this is seeing the same message, pls post .. I've tested myvm 1000 times for a number of reasons with a number of builds and haven't seen this.
I'll find where it is and make sure it's corrected ASAP.

Since for some reason nobody appears to have addressed your original question then you may want to check > server-not-responding
Depending on what OS and what if any "error dialogs" are being displayed then you may have been affected by recent SSO problems on MyVirginMedia backend system updates earlier this month.
Some rough notes, further links and hypotheses are also here (although predominantly predicated on Mac OSX platform) > Ancient Horse's Evernote

Re: V Stuff
Getting back to the actual product and its performance. Is anyone aware of any improvement in V Stuff recently? I abandoned it for its slowness and erratic behaviour 2 years ago. The fact that is was free was no excuse for wasting customers time with a dead duck. I felt that I needed paying to use it after all the wasted effort I put in.
I now use Livedrive, which is genuinely unlimited, but is costly. NB Moderators. I am not actually recommending it to your average user!
One feature of Livedrive is to allow streaming of HD video, uploaded films in my case, by FTP connection to XBMC and similar media players. We store all our music, photos, video and office files there. It acts like a remote hard drive with knobs on. Has V Stuff been improved sufficiently to match elements of this performance, or does it still remain firmly in the 20th Century?

Re: V Stuff
It was changed a few months back. It has some limitations which make it no use to me no matter what speed it can run at...
It can't automatically backup any USB or network drives. It was pretty much designed as a tool for backing up a standalone PC.
It mirrors that PC - if you (possibly accidentally) delete a file or folder then that same file or folder will be automatically removed from the backup.
The space would be very handy (or at least would have been when I was on XL) if it could be accessed by plain old FTP but it can't.
If you can live with the limitations then I've seen people say it can run quite fast although when I tried it out it didn't for me. I didn't persist with trying once I noticed the limitations.

Thanks for all of that. I'll stick with what I have got then.
Is there anybody happy with V Stuff?

Re: V Stuff
There are many people using it, for considerable amounts of data, I don't know how happy they are though .. I assume content at least
