    You do not want to lose connection in middle of uploading on this projec t. Seems to be the root of all evil here. If you get this problem you can save client, maybe some one can help you later - but I doubt it. Best to just start a new one.

    Fixed it just... gave it a smack or 2 read the error list and went to see if I could find what was missing "hmm I wish the 'ERROR' messages would be a bit more obvious " rarther than have to look at the end of the error log, Only lost 1 gen it was a low number one so not many points lost I hope...

    Can you please post the full error message you received? I cannot fix problems with incomplete bug reports. So you lost connection in mid-upload of a file and a that point it said 'will try again later' and then you got a checksum error of some kind next time you tried to upload, is that correct?
