Dropbox upload speed less than 1 KB/s!!!

I am stuck with upload speeds of less than 1 KB/s with Dropbox (actually around 0.2KB/s). I'm on a 10 Mbps upload connection (10 Mbps = 1,250 KB/s) with all other uploads at or around 10 Mbps. Any idea why my Dropbox app could be uploading at less than 1/1000x my available bandwidth and any idea on how I can resolve this? At this rate, my files would take weeks to upload, and that is simply not practical.

I have checked the "Don't limit" option under the upload bandwidth section in my Dropbox app's preferences, and I've also tried resetting my internet connection by disconnecting/reconnecting my internet modem.

OS: Ubuntu
