JOSM upload hangs on slow Internet connection

[AlaskaDave]

The other day I attempted to upload my changes from a short editing session. I was staying at a small hotel with a very weak Wi-Fi link. The upload started but stalled at about 3K of data. I waited for the process to resume but it never did.

After a while, maybe a few minutes, I decided to cancel the upload and try it again later. Alternatively, I might have saved my data in an .OSM file and returned to it when I had a better connection.

Unfortunately, I was unable to cancel the process. I tried clicking on the X to close the dialog box and on the Cancel button. Neither had any effect. I was forced to kill the JOSM program from the Task Manager and lost my edits.

Below is data that describes my system configuration:

This should not solve this problem but you should nevertheless upgrade to latest version of JOSM (6388 is the current tested).
