lost my block trying to turn on the "don't get another block" option
i had a PC crunching along, about 50% complete, 83 blocks left
i decided to try out the new option to not get another block after it finished the current block
after i saved the options and restarted the client , it wouldn't start, it kept erroring on "can't get block from server"
so since it wouldn't start back up, i turned that option off again, then when i restarted the client, it went to the server and grabbed a new block, thus wiping out my uncompleted block :swear:
is this option borked ? or can it only be used when you first grab a block , i.e. , once you get a block, you can't turn on this option in the middle, i.e. , "it's a feature, not a bug"
i can't believe i lost all that work :cry:
here is the applicable portion of the log file to help explain

Have cache - how do I reload it?
My problem is that I had to wipe my pc. I backed up the cache!
How do I get it SSB110 to restart crunching (about 80& complete)- I believe it involves editing the registry? Simply rebooting does not work - probably because the registry was wiped along with everything else before I reinstalled.
Probably not important as it has taken more than 10 days to rebuild my machine (and am yet to even connect to the 'net on it - I am at work in case you didn't guess).
