We apologize for this inconvenience. We are working on improving performance.
From the command line you can run u1sdtool --current-transfers to see how much of the file has been uploaded.

If this does not show the file uploading, then there could be another problem. If this is the case, check the log files
in the folder ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log. Errors will be in files names syncdaemon-exceptions.log

Please be sure to file a bug if you find any errors in this file.

Thank you,

Thank you but the status of the command line shows:

    deflated size: 4203108805
    bytes written: 4203108805
Current downloads: 0

Does this mean it is done uploading? How about the phone sync issue I reported?

To give a bit more info. I rebooted my machine and restarted the Ubuntu One syncing and it started over at zero bytes. After another day and a half it got to the same point where the deflated size and bytes written were the same number. It however never indicated using the icon on the file nor by looking at the web site status for the file that the syncing ever finished for the file. So far it has been unable to complete the uploading of the file after two attempts and close to a week of time; eventhough, it seems that all the bytes transferred to the server twice. This was the whole reason why I joined Ubuntu One (Contact syncing one way from the phone and to be able to sync larger files) and wonder if I can get a refund on my payment until the bugs are eliminated.

I tried again to upload the file and again it is stuck with:
$ u1sdtool --current-transfers
Current uploads:
  path: /home/filename.tmp
    deflated size: 4203108805
    bytes written: 4203108805
Current downloads: 0

It seems that it gets to this point and stops. What is it doing and how long will it take to finish?

I'm using the free (2GB) service and have been unable to upload a large file (~500MB). Same symptoms as 'astern' reports. Takes days and days and no sign of progress... Is this a known issue?
