I was uploading some gens from one of my sneaker-netters. Everything started fine, using the May 21st Windoze client (Win2K) and ".\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native -ut". Then I noticed that it was stuck on Gen 123 of 204 and it stayed there for quite a while. I "Q'd" out of it and was preparing to let it run offline again when I thought to check the error log to see if it was anything interesting. The initially-clean error.log was over 4MB!! Many repetitions of:

Note the closeness of the time-stamps. (Aren't you glad we pressured for those time-stamps? :p ) So, I thought then to check on the DF site and lo, my cable modem was locked up! Reset the modem, counted to a million or so, and started it back up again. All's well.
HOWEVER, if I hadn't checked, it would have just filled my disk with those error messages. Maybe an error-notification-limiting check would be good? Like when it says "Giving up", it should? :)
