Comment 7 for bug 990990

I've got what sounds like the same problem ever since I placed a 300-plus MB directory into the Ubuntu One directory. Sometimes it seems to sync for awhile, but sometimes it will go all night without any progress at all. I've been trying for days to get it to sync and so far, in fits and starts, it's uploaded about 185MB.

The crazy thing is that it burns up ALL my upload bandwidth even when it's making NO progress on uploading the files. Any other use of the web times out when the client is syncing, even if it's not actually uploading the files. Adjusting the bandwidth in the client settings has no effect on this

Also, the big disconnect button flickers when clicked but has no effect. The only way I can get any bandwidth for uses other than Ubuntu One is to stop the syncdaemon through u1sdtool. Extremely frustrating. I would love to have a fix, or at least a workaround. I can't even find instructions for completely removing and reinstalling U1 on 12.04. I followed instructions for 11.10 already with no improvement.
