Feature suggestion - a bit belated

Lately I seem to have been having problems with "Error sending data to
server" when doing a Get Latest (both the the 3.53 client and the 4.0 client
with a 3.53 server) over two different broadband ISP's. I guess this stuff
just happens, and I'm working with a large project with many sub-projects.
The difficulty is that I then have to reconnect and start all over again.

I'd like to suggest a couple of things that would make this more usable for
me, and hopefully for others.

1) When doing a recursive Get Latest, would it be possible to start
receiving files right away, as project file lists are being received. As it
is now, receiving files waits until the entire project tree is retrieved
(which is about 15 minutes). Unfortunately, it seems that a packet will get
dropped once every 10 to 20 minutes causing the failure msg. The hope here
is that eventually I would receive all the files.

2) Make the operation more robust, by automatically creating the connection
and starting up again where it stopped.

3) Have some way of creating project groups so I could subset my gets into
smaller blocks. Currently doing it project by project is frustrating because
of the length of time it takes to retrieve the top level project file list
before I can even issue a get latest (or cloak the project for that matter).
Something similar would be a feature to delay getting the file list until it
was needed.

Overall I really do like the product.
