Default Upload issue with BearShare hosts ... upload progress lossed time & time again

I've noticed several Bearshare hosts, bearshare lite & Bearshare Pro 5.2.1 who if they should drop connection with me for a few seconds will then show zero progress. It gives the impression I've wasted bandwidth uploading (very large files) to hosts who do not maintain the download % from me. Why are they showing zero progress in these scenarios? I get other LW hosts who start to download from me yet show their true progress, sometimes starting at over 50%.

Is there something lost in the old version BS to LW versions compatibility. Yes I was using LW 4.16 at the time.

I do wonder also if it is related to file size since BS 5 was probably around before much above 500 MB was able to be shared on gnutella.
