it is because you have a port problem, the only results you obtain comes from 
the hub (passive user reply).

seeing entries in waiting status only does not mean they are always waiting. 
On a normal connection, a transfer attempt is performed in 2-3 seconds and by 
default, the refresh rate is every 5 seconds.

there is a bug in the configure of the latest stable version, use the CVS 
version or wait the next stable version to be able to use the --disable-glib2 
flag.

it is configurable in the gui, by default, it is 5 seconds.

yes, it is 2 different programs.

as explained in the forum, not until know.
