Thanks for that.  It rules out throttling by
Virgin, and anyway Virgin say they now only throttle if there is too much
uploading.  Virgin also say there are no known problems in my area.

The problem with the Windows 10 shortcut has been solved by re-booting.  I 
have tried downloading on a laptop which has v2.94.  I downloaded in flashhd 
at 9.5Mbit/s and about twice that in hlshd, over WiFi.  I must have done 
something to slow this machine down.  I have put in a PCI card with 2 SATA 
and 1 IDE ports.  I wouldn't have thought that would affected the built in 
LAN.  I also don't understand why a speed test was reporting 90Mbit/s, which 
is the normal speed from Virgin.  Sorry to have wasted everyone's time.
