So if they allowed it to download when VxWorks was up, and we didn't have to fail and reboot so often, it would be fine (for the actual download, not including the compile).

You probably already know this, but we've found it really helpful to disconnect and connect to the cRIO in the project explorer before we download code. It seems to fix the silly errors that require a reboot.
