} Have you been watching your connections, or doing it automatically?

Manually, watching as it goes.  It accepts the upload, then attempts
to connect with the server again, gives me a data error and dumps the
program.  Double click on the antenna icon again, and it attempts to
download again, but dumps me with the same data error message.
Finally, after trying it numerous times, I get a new download but the
upload was never credited.  Four uploads now, and only 1 credit.  So,
I have taken to putting the whole working folder into a TEMP folder
prior to connecting.  Still trying to send up a fifth upload, but no
luck yet.  Reloaded the working folder from the TEMP one several times
and attempted to upload/download again, always with the same results
so far.  Using two machines, set up differently and each gives the
same symptoms.  Guess I need to try it at midnight or so.

It's a wonder anyone can get into it, ever.
