/me runs and hides.

Updates tend to be released around 2 to 3 weeks after the date on the update file.

Should be expecting an update on my exchange pretty soon then, as the last update was the 22nd Oct, its almost 3 weeks now, and i do appreciate the hard work you do, its just i need an upto date exchange checker to see if its contention i'm getting or not.

Two updates have been applied today and I have found out why they are so delayed.

Turns out they have changed the format of the filename on the download, which has prevented a download taking place.

This is yet another hurdle in fully automarting it.

I will will, I wont give them a chance to beat me.

Why is my exchange still showing as green then if the last info was for the 29th and thats on red, also thanks for the update?.

Maybe BT have added extra capacity?

Erm, nope, the 29th is not the last update according to your exchange.

The Red item you refer to us under the historical data. The most recent item is the headline item on the page linked.

It should the exchange as Green and the last update being the 5th November.

Oh right so if i'm right in what i'm sayin then from the 05th of november my exchange is green, so now i've gotta wait until the next update to see if its still green as its now the 20th?.

And as of today, your exchange is now Red, with an ETA of the 29th for a fix.

So what does that exactly mean for me then, does the ETA mean it will be fixed on that day or there abouts, when is the next update after the 29th so i can see if they have done it on time?.

It means good luck and maybe it will be fixed by then.

My local exchange was red for months (I think it was about 10 in total) before going back to green. ETA after ETA went by without a change. This doesn't mean work wasn't done though. A red exchange may only be red on one of its VPs but go red on another before the ETA to sort the original one. also it is possble the upgrade just isn't enough so although work has been done to sort the issue, it still remains as all extra capacity get eaten up straight away
