Can't help you too much, but I can say that the VFS tracking website is only ever updated twice - once when they receive the application, and then once the application has been finished... ie collect passport, or failed visa. There are no updates in between.
I recieved a phone call from VFS who then advised what the next stage was so be sure to always be by your phone or have your mobile with you. It may be worth giving them a call to ensure they have your details correctly.
I also sent them a couple of e-mails asking for an update to the application, which were replied with the standard it will take 3 months to process answer, but who knows, it may have pushed the application through a bit faster. You can find the relevant e-mail addresses on the VFS website.
I'm still waiting to pick my passport up from Kolkata, which should be next week, so the total time of my application will be about 14 days which according to others is a pretty fast submission as it usually takes just over a month.
Good luck
