Ah but I want to eventually feed it lists of someone elses uploads

We need crystal clear instructions in the OP to wipe {SAFEHOME}/client and {SAFEHOME}/node but preserve {SAFEHOME}/tools.

When I downloaded the list from DeusNexus I simply replaced contents of the uploaded_files file. I am lazy and it works 
Did the same
I understand, but what do I do to run the client and get SNT?
How do I delete all these files?
Try rmdir C:\Users\gggg\AppData\Roaming\safe -r -Force

I don’t think it gives a response - your files will be deleted though

try dir /s C:\Users\gggg\AppData\Roaming\safe
It should return zero

It’s doing all your chunks at once? the default is 20, I think. So that’s buggy. can you send me your logs for any run that is doing this please 
This may well be the “lost node” situation we talk about in the OP. That we removed some code for which seems to have been mem-leaky.
Seems like there may be other workarounds for this that we can test out to avoid needing to re-add it.
Do we need to call the dir maidsafe instead of safe? I don’t understand why anyone is putting tooling in a directory we’re frequently recommending wiping?
Honestly, it is very helpful for us to have one concrete place to put all files. And one concrete place to erase. If we’re having to caveat that, something may fall through the cracks?
Are we saying that users want a safe dir in that location on all machines? Or just that there is a safe dir somewhere standard which is handy? (The current safe folder is, I believe, normally a vendor specific lodation is what I mean… so perhaps our naming makes that unclear that it’s perhaps not for human consumption?)
ie: Would ~/safe not be a better location to place tooling? And its away from maidsafe tools?
(Probs worth a real discussion of where tooling / safe code etc should live. Don’t really want to distract the topic, but folk keep asking us to clarify this in the OP, but for me… the whole point is we have one folder to erase to start fresh, not a list to keep up to date… )

The download took 7 s, but only 21 parts were downloaded from the network - I have reported this in previous tests, is this not a bug?

However, if I want to use a specific directory to save the file to after downloading, I get an error - am I saving the directory/name wrong?

I totally understand that – {SAFEHOME}/tools came about as a result of late-night discussions with @chriso.
I am not welded to the idea of {SAFEHOME}/tools but I am welded to the idea of a commonly accepted destination for /tools.
@happybeing s vdash being an exception of course as it is Rust and installs itself in .cargo/ - as will other tools written in Rust as they emerge. Its not too late to ditch {SAFEHOME}/tools but we need an agreed alternative destination for non-Rust tooling.

Just let the downloads be saved to {SAFEHOME}/client and then move them to the reqd destination later - Precise download destinations will come along soon but for now this is easier. IMHO

I’ve added a note and the logs in my post with the updated info on the upload and how it ended. Thanks Josh!
