Check if you're using the right keywords. You must spell them exactly the way 
that "extract" infers them from the file(s).

Only if they have the right keywords -- and if you can't find them locally 
knowing a bit more about the files, I doubt it. Try the 'extract' tool (part 
of libextractor) and do a gnunet-search on exactly the spelling that extract 
provided. 
If your files did not contain any meta-information, only the filenames might 
have been used!

Hard to tell, anonymity and monitoring don't go together well :-)

Never tried. Also note that by default gnunetd is compiled to support only up 
to 6-7 GB of shared files. It's probably also not really advisable to share 4 
GB files since it would take too long to download.

Thanks to Igor gnunet-insert now has an option with which you can specify how 
important 'your own' content is (compared to foreign content). By default, 
your local content is ranked *very* important and not likely to be discarded 
in favor of any other content for a decade [importance degrades over time
to give new content a chance if old content is never requested] :-).
