First of all I would like to start by saying, I have very few problems with my downloading. It couldn't get much easier than this! But my question has to do with others uploading my files. I have a lot of hits when I check the library, but few actual uploads.
Am I reading these right? Does it have anything to do with connection speed on either side?
When I check to see if someone is uploading from me, I sometimes just watch to see what they are getting and have noticed that things seem to be going along fine in their upload and then *poof* they are gone. Is this a problem with my computer or could'nt they wait? Being new to LimeWire, just need to know.
