During Sync Doesn't Recover From Network Interruption

I was attempting to diagnose slow data rates when synchronizing files, so I disconnected from a local switch so I could try connecting directly to the router. After disconnecting from the switch, FFS, of course, went to 0 data rate. When I connected directly to the router, my PC indicated that Ethernet connection was restored, but FFS never started back up. After waiting for around 10 minutes, I clicked Pause. After waiting another extended period of time, the little "twirly thing" was still twirling.

I tried this all again, but tried clicking Pause, BEFORE interrupting the network, and then clicking "Resume" [or whatever the word is--don't remember]. BUT, it remained at 0 data rate -- for a long time. So, I tried clicking "Stop", and a display of "Stop Requested" and again ENDLESS TWIRLING!

So, Free File Sync sure doesn't seem to be able to handle network interruption very well.

And, possibly a separate issue: Pause and Stop don't see to work!
