No UPLOADS happening here...
 

I have yet to see anyone successfully download anything from my shared folder. Is it because of my firewall? I don't have to share my drive, do I??
People keep trying to domnload, they connect, but it stays at 0%.

I have the same problem
 

I have the exact same problem. I am pretty sure it has something to do with your firewall. I am using a linksysa cable/dsl firewall. I haven't been able to find anywhere on the limewire help files or anything exactly which ports need to be open on the firewall to make it work. I think just the default port has to be open incoming and outgoing, but since it isn't working for me I can't say for sure. I will keep trying to figure out a solution and post a reply here later....

I've seen the same problem where no one is able to upload from me. I'm not behind a firewall either, just directly connected via cable modem to the TimeWarner RoadRunner ISP. Not one person has been able to download any of my shared files although I've seen many attempts. Something seems broken to me. I'm wondering if one needs a particular version of Java on the system for Limewire to run properly?

BTW, I have tried limewire behind a Linksys router/firewall and to get that to work go to advanced setup then to the forwarding tab and forward ports 6436-6451 BOTH to whatever IP address your system has on the LAN side of the router (on Windows one can run winipcfg to see this). You'll also need to configure limewire in the advanced/firewall setting and select "force ip address" and then fill in the address that the ISP has assigned the Linksys router (the WAN address). Look at the status page on the Linksys router admin webpage to see that info.

Another piece of info is that I'm running Limewire 2.2.3 Pro.
Also note that I am able to get a autoconnections established and I've seen that Limewire netstats shows over 1000 hosts sometimes. I've also been able to successfully download files recently. So I don't think my problem is my network setup.

I just rechecked my limewire statistics and it reports that there were 5 uploads so if this means there were 5 successful uploads then perhaps some people are able to upload from me but from what I can tell from watching the monitor view the vast majority of uploads are failing with a transfer interrupted message (this is leaving my system up on the net for 24 hours).

No uploads with Windows XP
 

I too have not had any uploads since changing OS's. I'm now running xp which has a firewall feature. I think that's the problem, but I haven't a clue how to fix it. I've got some rare files I'd like to be sharing.

Anyone with XP that knows how to solve this problem?:confused:

Uploads in Win XP
 

Go to the Control Panel - Administrative Tools - local security policy- IP Security Policies on Local Computer - Secure Server - Filter Action - Permit

you can correct the permission there to allow uploading... I wish I could provide a better explaination but I'm still new to XP. I have the linksys router also and you will need to forward port 6346


I hope this helps...

**EDIT EMAIL ADDRESS**

My control panel doesn't have a "Administrative Tools" link. I'm running XP home edition. Any suggestions?

upload problem with 2.3.3
 

i got limewire pro too. current version is 2.3.3.

no one can upload from me either. my old version of limewire
1.7 is GREAT. uploads are no problem. I like how the new
version downloads, but w/no uploads??????????????????

i'm using zonealarm pro as my software firewall. tried everything.
still, no one can upload. I think it's a problem with the new
versions of limewire.

Same problem, but with Mac OSX version
 

I don't get any uploads, either, but I have no Control Panel and no Administrative Tools to adjust. I do not use a PC. What should I check or adjust for Macintosh OSX?

I've had the same problem for some time now, since one of the 2.2 versions I believe. I'm using 2.4.3 now and I'm still noticing the same results.

This is what I've discovered so far:

Firewalls are not responsible for this problem.
Although I'm behind a NAT firewall, I have port forwarding turned on and people can connect. My IP is forced so the network can see it. I use a software firewall too, which is configured to allow connections both ways (from TCP or UDP) for LimeWire. People are connecting successfully, and that's why they're still appearing as valid uploads in LimeWire.

According to the firewall's transmission reports, the very first packet of an upload (8K or 16K) goes out, and then it just freezes there. Push downloads, which also connect in, work fine. This is a transmission protocol problem of some kind.

I'd guess an error was introduced in one of the recent upgrades. Whether it affects all systems or just some, I don't know. What I do know is that my system can't upload anything except at 8K or 16K at a time.

I forgot to add in the previous post: I'm using a Linksys 4-port switch too; that's the NAT firewall I mentioned. 6346 and 6347 are both forwarded.

no uploading here??????????
 

I've tried windows xp and windows 2000, but I still can not get anyone to upload from me. No, I don't have a firewall up!!!!! What is the deal? How do I get people to upload? This has to be a major problem as i've seen lots of postings about this but no solutions. please help.....

Look into your statistics window, if you are receiving any upload request. It's also possible that your ISP shields you from incoming connections, e.g. you are behind a firewall without knowing it.

Hello!

If you are all using ADSL or Cable broadband check with your ISP that a Firewall is not included in the service.Some ISP's do have a Firewall enabled at their servers for their customers security this service usually costs a little extra like $5 a month and there should be a way to cancel that extra service I did that a year ago and I am able to share files which by the way is 5000 and 14GB in size these days and I am adding about 20 files a week that I share.

Dell recommends an upgrade to XP professional if you are using XP home edition and that is because XP home has to many limitations if you are a good or expert user of your computer.

If you are a Mac OS X user make sure that you are not using the latest version which has some bugs in it instead try to find the previous version and also make sure that you by accident have not installed the MRJ 2.2.5 in the wrong place because that installer usually have a tendency to default to the partion/System Folder with OS X on it but it does not belong there.If you have done that uninstall MRJ from OSX and then reinstall MRJ on the MAC OS 9.X System Folder by specifying it in the Switch disk option in the MRJ installer.

u/l problems
 

Hey all, I got this answer on the support board after I looked in here. This might help most of you... The source is "treatid"
=============================================
'Transfer interrupted' is a message - not necessarily an error message.

Most current gnutella clients have the ability to swarm download - they can download from multiple sources at the same time.

So - while they are getting the beginning of the file from you they are getting the middle from someone else and the end from yet another person.

When they have got the bit between the beginning and the middle, then they drop the connection (transfer interupted) because they already have the middle bit from somewhere else.

The transfer will also be interrupted if they disconnect from the network for any reason.

I guess i'll have to check with my cable provider, but I don't think that will solve the problem
