Yes, same issue also. After initiating manual update of vps 140831-1 get same http error
Says stated vps is up to date.\\
xpSP4 32Bit
Wait just got popup saying vps needs updating
Now stuck on "initializing, please wait"
Yey, I'll try later
Edit: Something amiss now as Avastsvc.exe cpu now high and hasn't resolved itself so decided to reboot, see what results.
