I'm trying to run the Full Test on PC Pitstop but it's IE keeps crashing when it checks my internet upload speed. I tried it using IE Tab and thought that might of been the problem, but it also crashes in IE. Can anyone else confirm this in case it is something wrong with the test and not my computer

When I tested a couple of weeks ago all was ok.
I'll try again, i'll post later if it crashed.

I don't know if this helps but, on the page for the upload speed test it says:

DOES YOUR BROWSER HANG WHEN YOU TRY TO TEST? It is probably due to your firewall. The upload test uses the FTP protocol to create a test file on our server. Some firewalls intercept the activity as suspicious, and this can hang or freeze the browser. If you receive a negative number for your upload results, this also indicates that the FTP protocol has been blocked. Temporarily disabling your firewall may allow you to complete the upload test.
Maybe you should give it a try?

[Edit] Ran it with my firewall disabled. It worked fine. Its never happened before
Thanks for your help anyways.
