* Sometimes user interface can become un-responsive during file transfers or when adding large files that don't have journal entires yet.
* (Untested, but looks like this will be problematic)Client downloads file and then disconnects. The server then removes a file and re-adds file (after changing it).  When the client re-connects (resumes) the client will not know that the file changed and not allow them to download the new one.
** Work around: Close the activity and delete it's entry in the journal. When re-connecting, it will allow all downloads as expected as it doesn't know that you already downloaded that file.
* [Cannot Consistently Reproduce] Permission Denied when reading files on a flash drive
