Default Re: Switch to "Monitor" kills uploads

Problem is, while I know that I can successfully upload - the results are there - whenever I switch to "Monitor" active uploads are flagged "transfer interrupted". This occurs about one second after the switch, just enough time to see that the uploads WERE in fact active.Not all uploads are affected but those that continue are in the minority.
These uploads never resume - I have left them for many hours - and leave me feeling that I have failed to deliver my part of "the bargain". Must be frustrating at the other end too.
If this has been discussed elsewhere, my apologies, just point me in the right direction.
Hopefully somebody can help me with this and possibly also check out my other query - in "General Windows Support" posted 07-11-04.
I've noticed this problem when some people upload from me. I have come to two primary conclusion regarding this situation.

#1 They are trying to download too many files using a 56Kbps connection and the connections are stalling.

#2 They attempting to download content from a connection that prohibits the P2P transfers. Somewhere in between is a device used to block or significantly limit p2p transfers.

Again, I don't know if either one of these assessments are entirely correct but I have encountered this being the case in some if not most of the situations.

I would not be able to make a better determination until more specific testing can be conducted.
