There was a lot of progress on more reliable upload in the last releases, you can see the changes at https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/releases.

Please test again with a recent version. If there's still a problem please report a bug at https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/issues.

Thanks!

I had the same kind of problem yesterday with also more than 3K reports loss.

I wonder if this couldn't also come from a bad wifi connect : getting an IP but with a web proxy in front makign transmission not working. 

For sure, the last transmission shown is a few  hours ahead and can see all this lost reports (with the sector of D-Day in France !)
