Odd. Mine are uploading just fine. Are you still having this problem?

Anything useful in error.log? If not, what happens if you try to stop the client, move the directory over to another machine, and upload from there? (just use -ut in the foldit.bat/foldit batch/script file)

Can you telnet to www.distributedfolding.org port 80 from that machine?
Something like telnet www.distributedfolding.org 80 would accomplish that.
ping uses ICMP packets, and traceroute uses UDP packets, so there might be something with either TCP or TCP port 80 packets from that machine...
You're not using an HTTP proxy, are you?

That seems to be a known bug with certain HTTP proxies. The packets make their way to Howard's machine (and I don't remember for sure, but I think you still get credit for them), but the "received packet" HTTP reply (or whatever it's called; it's probably not "received packet") never makes it back.
No one can find the problem with the broken proxies, either. I've got a theory (and I just came up with it a minute ago, thinking about this) that perhaps the proxies are only optimized (or only work, period) with "normal" usage, which is downloading information using HTTP. It could be that uploading with HTTP is causing them to screw up.
In any case, you might contact your ISP (if this is an ISP's caching proxy; I noticed "sprint" in there, so that's why I assume it is) and see if there's any way to skip the proxy for DF. Maybe there's something you can set up so that packets miss the proxy, or maybe the ISP can make it so that your IP isn't forced through the proxy.
Or, if that's your own proxy, try disabling it and see if you can upload.

Save the following info into a file named proxy.cfg in the client dir:
Code:
195.205.230.210
8080
I use this proxy with my Linux boxen as they won't upload work with my ISP's transparent proxy. It's a little slow, but it works.

What does ERR_LIFETIME_EXP mean?
This means that a timeout occurred while the object was being transferred. Most likely the retrieval of this object was very slow (or it stalled before finishing) and the user aborted the request. However, depending on your settings for quick_abort, Squid may have continued to try retrieving the object. Squid imposes a maximum amount of time on all open sockets, so after some amount of time the stalled request was aborted and logged win an ERR_LIFETIME_EXP message.
