With LW, all you do is make files available for others to download. When someone chooses a file they want, you will start uploading it to them.

Do you see a brick wall in front of the globe in the bottom left corner of the LW interface? That could indicate a firewall problem.

Also, do your friends have a firewall problem?

If files are on the same LAN, you should see blue stars instead of the usual yellow stars. You will also get extremely fast download speeds.

Tools...options...uploads

This will allow you to choose how much bandwidth you will devote to uploads and how many upload slots you will allow.

Let us know how you get on.
