Jodie, welcome to the finest DC client and project running. I look forward to the day you pass me. There are now several others gunning for my spot that have more power than I can muster.
Howard (the lead developer and customer support) is a dream on this project. He has unlocked a stubborn firewall and has made his client work for me where others have failed. He added NTLM proxy authentication which allows me to run the client without having to lose any network security.
Yes, you did answer your own question. The status in the progress.txt file shows your TOTAL units processed in that directory, plus the count down till the next upload.
Shrub on! and Ni!
