Vstuff down time 1st April - 5th April

Nopanic · 01-04-2011, 08:36

On Friday 1 April at 22:00 V Stuff will be taken down while our techie wizards do their magic and will come back up as Backup & Storage at 08:00 on Tuesday 5 April. During this time you won't be able to use the application to access any stored or backed-up files or order photos. There'll be a message on the site advising that the service is down for maintenance and we'll also have a countdown (without the music) on the page so you can clearly see when it's coming back.

Thanks

It will be transferred automatically in the background.

yeah you will only see a different interface, the options and storage will all be the same.

The new client will be there from Tuesday too .. and we'll migrate people over in small numbers .. you'll only notice really by the increase in speed

Hope the transfer works, don't wont to upload everything again,

Manually selecting the folders I want to backup has worked, just really slow. Took a long time to back up 10Gb of pictures.

By speed do you mean an increase in the upload rate the v-stuff uses or do you mean a better speed of the pages loading ?

I pray it's the latter as it's been taking me well over five mins at times just to get to my storage area. As for the menu system, thats so sluggish that it feels like it's just stopped at times.

Another quick question, if i wanted to back up my entire 1tb hard drive to storage would this be allowed ? Just how unlimited is unlimited(50Mb)

Many other mobile providers have similar unlimited text offers that do not take into account the average teenager, PAYG is the only option for them.

I know I have heard similar horror stories over the years and it is always a teenager.
