What you see in the 'incoming searches' box isn't a measure of uploads. It will just show you when your files have appeared in someone's search results. See LOTR's posts below for more info

To monitor your uploads,you can check the progress of current uploads on the Monitor page or go to your library & look at the uploads column. This will show you the number of completed & attempted uploads for that session. The first figure shows successful uploads, the second shows attempted uploads. So if you see 3/4... means that 3 uploads were successful out of 4 attempts.
This data will disappear when you shut down LW
