I guess we'll lose a few before re-educating the household but perhaps a mention in the wiki might be in order to caution others.

I have thought about this issue, when i get a minute i will update the wiki. The easiest way to deal with this is to use a resume behaviour, where although MVP was switched off, if the main PC is switched on or the MVP is switched back on the previous state is restarted. It is pretty complicated though so it will be a while before I get around to look at it.

Is this behaviour because it's the individual MVP's pvrx2.exe process which is handling the download?

Have you thought about using a download service? I can give you some skeleton code for a windows service and also code to communicate with it using .NET remoting if you're interested.

It's still pretty complicated (but in a different way ) but it would have the advantage of a central queuing / download service for all clients.
