File uploads stuck at 0%
-
So I finally decided to try out Sia. I'm hoping I'll be able to use it as my primary solution for online backups (in addition to the offline backups I already keep).
I downloaded Sia-UI, set up my wallet, loaded $5 into it, allocated 200 SC for the allowance, selected a small folder with ~350 MB of music files to upload as a test, and... nothing. The files got added to my folder in the UI, and they're listed under File Transfers, but they're not uploading at all.

How do I fix this?

I believe 200SC is too less for renting (Contracts formation fee gobbles up all your allowance, leaving no allowance for uploads). The community normally recommend to start with a minimum allowance of 500SC.Try to see if increasing your allowance fixes the problem.
FYI Sia is not that efficient at uploading small files. Check here

@SandBlock There are still plenty of funds left in my allowance, so I don't think that's the issue:
$ ./siac renter Renter info: Allowance: 200 SC Spent Funds: 32.17 SC Storage: 0 H Upload: 0 H Download: 0 H Fees: 32.17 SC Unspent Funds: 167.8 SC Allocated: 34.5 SC Unallocated: 133.3 SC [...]
I've still got 167.8 SC left, and none of that has been spent on uploads. And that's after I already established all 50 contracts:

Siad is known to not show the correct amount of funds for hosting and renting.Normally, this problem is solve by increasing allowance to a minimum of 500SC. Unused allowance will be returned after your contract ends anyway.
