I'm running Limewire 2.8.2. I share 9739 files. I can download just fine, but there are no uploads. When I run other p2p program, there are almost always uploads from me. What can I do to verify that uploads should work, and to find out if something is wrong?

I'm behind a Cisco 678 dsl modem/router. I have port 6346 forwarded to my machine.

Try sharing fewer files, say 5% of the total and see if you get any uploads. There's the possibility that LimeWire can't go through your large shared file listing fast enough when search queries reach your computer.

No, but there is the possibility that because you are sharing so many files, you are receiving so many queries that you are constantly dropped by your ultrapeers and if you are behind a firewall the PUSH requests to upload a file never reach you.

I've disabled my firewall completely. I'm using Kerio, and AFAIK Kerio does not have any hidden or automatic blocking like other firewalls do.

How can I tell if the ultrakeepers are dropping me? Would it show under connections? How can I force Limewire to be an ultrakeeper?

To continue this suject: I look under connections. I'm connected to 4 ultrapeers. Under Dropped (I/O) it says:

91% / 0%

Is that bad? The docs don't really tell you much about this other then "the input percentage of leaf nodes is normally high". Also, any individual ultrapeer seems to stay on the list for no more then 10 minutes, should they stay longer?
