Optionally, if the client doesn't close the socket you can just do:
## after opening the socket and getting the file##
get hostAddress("1.1.1.1:8080") ## every 10 minutes
if it returns a number(local IP address) you are still connected to that
server, if it returns "not an open socket", you're not.
