i guess they can, but considering that you actually have uploads (people trying to download from you), this seems unlikely. do the uploads succeed? they don't have to go to 100% necessary. check your library, in the 'uploads' column. it shows attempted uploads/succesful uploads or the other way round. if you have some succesful uploads, uploading should work ok. note that the number of attempted uploads can be considerably (5x) higher than succesful uploads. i think that's because often you get more requests for a file than you can serve.
however, it seems weird that lw should try to connect and handshake for 30 minutes without finding a good host. i tried to reproduce your problem but limewire just fails to not work ;-). sorry, can't think of anything. |
