I went ahead and put 2.0b3 back on and synched using ethernet and all seems well. Synching works without problems. Although I got an Email from Dave about turning logging on and then sent the results back to him (i assume of the USB failure...)... I will try that tonight...since I can just go to 1.03, then back to 2.0b3 and use ethernet only. :)

I have noticed there are less collisions on my hub with 2.0b3 in comparison to 1.03.
