Comment 8 for bug 702309

I removed 50 % of the contents in ~/Kuvat, including a big 12 GB video file, and now the upload seems to work normally. There is only one temporary file in /tmp/tmpxxxxxx at the time and the upload que is shrinking:

otto@shuttle:~$ u1sdtool --waiting-content | wc -l
6172
otto@shuttle:~$ u1sdtool --waiting-content | wc -l
6169
otto@shuttle:~$ ls /tmp/

otto@shuttle:~$ u1sdtool --current-transfers

Conclusion: the Ubuntu One client in Lucid is unable to handle big files or too many files correctly.
