Are you Fully Connected to the Network ?? Is there a Wall in front of the Blue Globe ?? If so you may be Firewalled which means no one can connect to you to upload.
To have a chance of becoming an UP, make sure you you have the Box Unchecked "Disable Ultrapeer Capabilities".
To find this, Go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Performance.
Even if you have taken the ^^ Steps, the Network will only utilize your UP connection if it needs more UP's. It isn't a guarantee that you will be an UP all or even some of the time.
