Linkster: When ioZS is run, it keeps a record of all the files upped (in the hidden .ioFTPD.race file), so when you installed in the middle of an upload it is of course not going to know about the other files in the release and show the wrong progress stats. This situation would have worked fine, IF the .sfv was upped last, as it would have rechecked all the files in the dir regardless if they were upped through ioFTPD with ioZS checking them or not. As for running the rescan in that directory while there was uploads still happening, that is bad...you kinda don't want to do that because ioZS creates a lock for that release folder and will not let other instances of ioZS run, to prevent the race information form getting corrupted.

Basically, its best to install ioZS when all races are completed. It's ok in MOST cases to UPGRADE ioZS while races are happening though ('cuz it's already checking uploads)...
