Problems with BT Speedtester

Frequently when using the above after verification of my user name and just as the test is to start I get this message:
Exception: connection refused: connect. 
The test then runs to the stage where it says:
No. of threads are 16! Progress 96%
and that's as far as it goes.  I am able to run another test immediately afterwards, sometimes successfully and sometimes with the result as described above.
Has this happened to anyone else recently?

Thanks Jim.  Just tried it but of course it was less than an hour ago when I managed a successful test so I'll have to wait a while before trying it.    I've added it to my favourites though.

It worked first time so let's hope that's solved the problem.  Once again, many thanks Oldjim

I also had to update Java when this happened to me.

Re: Problems with BT Speedtester

thanks for that link, Jim.
I've had a few problems with the BT speedchecker recently, too. What was more frustrating is that, even though a test was never succesfuly completed, on refreshing the page and trying again I was usually met with the 1 hour wait.
Your link worked first time with no gliches.
Cheers
