Using the batch code I last showed, minus the :TraceCheck subroutine, the
Windows %errorlevel% variable was "0" after the host could not be reached. If it
had returned anything greater than zero, it would have triggered the
continuation of the subroutine :CheckForErrors, and I would not have needed to have
added anything more.

I'm not sure what the deal is. The errorlevel would always return correctly,
as 18, if the connection was severed during a download. Maybe it's some kind
of compatability problem with Windows XP?
