No idea whats giving you that old number, can people with 170 connect? If not have you tried deleting your files and getting them all again.
Run the same command again but point to another directory (NSServer2 for example) - this will redownload everything.
I'll do a 'manual' update now and see what happened next build :/ althought I don't hold any high hopes it'll do it.. are there issues with running an update while a server is running? That's all I can think of ..
I guess I can run a scheduled task and batch the update command with the server command every night and stop it after 23.5 hours of execution.
(the first time the update ran, the server would have been running, I guess that might have created a problem if files were in use)
