One reason why the renderer id could be useful is that the server could then check that no client id has more than 1 job ongoing. This is (still possible but) a little trickier when the uploading id differs from the job taker. but thanks for implementing. we'll make good use of it, I'd think.

mmh, actually it does. It stores the file under the same name as upladad (appending underscores if the name exists already) in the 'Incoming' directory and the name is stored in the 'uploads' db as well.. But the server doesn't care about which name it is or makes any use of it. All it iis interested in, are the filenames of the unzipped file, as they give away layer, and z,x,y.
