you don't want to be setting up the download and checking for it in the

in one exitFrame, call preloadNetThing and set myNetID.

That's what I intended. I know the advantages of using a frame-based wait
instead of a repeat loop, but I have an idea of the project Colby is working
on, and I thought it'd be appropriate in this case. :\
