I had a similar situation as you not so long ago. I did have people uploading from me but it was only occasional. My incoming result was false. My Statistics showed many people had attempted but failed to connect to me. Once I forwarded a port, incoming became true, I had & still have several people uploading from me & a total of about 20 (the rest being queued.) My search & dwnld results suddenly increased dramatically. I was finding results in my searches I wasn't able to before. And the reliablility of my dwnlds increased. Now I can just open LW & walk away most often without even doing a search & files will start dwnlding (incomplete ones) & continue to do so for over a day at least. And no effort on my part. I only wish I had a faster upld bandwidth so I could offer more.
