Fingers crossed this solves most of the recent issues.

Thanks Xara.

I have just applied the update and it's hanging on uploading files again. I started about 5 mins ago and it's now on 3% of my site uploaded. It seems to hang on the upload of a single tiny image for a good while. As I'm typing I've just heard the error sound and low and behold a "timeout was reached" message. Infuriating to say the least yet again.

edit

Rebooted. Tried again and timed out after 2%. I've been a faithful Xara user for years but this is getting beyond a joke. Time to look at alternative software methinks.

Edit 1 hour later

I tried a complete machine reboot, checked for viruses (long shot) all good. Tried to upload again and got a message saying Windows firewall has blocked some features of this program???? Allowed Xara full access and it timed out almost immediately. I've gone back to exporting the site and then uploading it with an ftp client. The sites working but pics which loaded instantly before are now slow to load(white box initially)

Wow, that really... you know.
