Summarize any problems that you ran into this month and how you’ll be solving them.

Windows clients (and likely only those) seem to like sending write requests out of order (like, part 1, part 10, part 6, part 2, part 3, etc.). This is incompatible with the S3-type multipart uploads, because there is no way to know the part number until all earlier parts have been received. This made me rewrite the entire upload logic, but it seems to be working now.

What will you be working on next month?

The Milestone 2.
