the other places you can check for uplds are Tools>Statistics, & Bug Report, & in your Library window you can check the uplds & hits columns (to the far right) beside the sharing files names.

If you are only receiving forced attempts at uplds (in upld stats) then you are firewalled as far as anybody else in concerned & difficult to upld from.

May I ask what modem/router brand name & model no. you use? Many high speed modems have internal firewalls which generally use NAT. If you have one of these types then you'd need to forward a port (open port 6346) to allow full access up & dwn.

Oh by the way, the Gnutella network is sharing b/w people like you & I, the files are not stored at the LW website.
