Is there a problem with uploading to Plusnet webspace

[#1]

Just uploaded a small jpg file and the upload speed crawled (speed test result 10Mb/s upload)

[#2]

Just tried again and there is definitely a problem with the ftp connection timing out

[#3]

This is interesting, as the FTP servers are behind new load balancers. I noticed some oddities with my FTP client the other day but thought it was a localised issue.

Anybody else able to confirm they've issues?

[#4]

I've had issues for the past few days with an app which FTP uploads to my homepages site every 10 minutes.

I've cleared the app's FTP log now but will see what tomorrow brings.

[#5]

Speed issues, or timeouts @Strat?

[#6]

Timeouts

426 error if memory serves.

[#7]

still horrible

[#8]

Just tried uploading a 100MB file and it transferred at a steady 3.5Mbps without any interruptions:

>ftp ftp.plus.net

Certainly not a conclusive test, so if anyone can provide further evidence of the issues being seen then it would be appreciated.

Seems fixed - uploaded a 10MB file at full speed (about 10Mb/s) so what went wrong

[#10]

I'm still getting the odd error 426

[#11]

How frequent would you say the errors are @Strat? What application is it doing the uploading?

[#12]

Fairly randomly but roughly every hour.

The app is Cumulus from http://sandaysoft.com/

I've changed the upload frequency from 10 minutes to 5 minutes and will save an ftp log (it's optional).

[#13]

@bobpullen no errors today so far over a 4 hour period

[#14]

Problem has now come back

@Strat are you seeing it

[#15]

Yes.
