I've been reading comments like this with interest and I have to ask: 
what is so great about instant background LOTW uploads and downloads? I 
may be old school but I fail to see the big advantage of giving two 
pieces of software (not only on the user's end, but on the ARRL end) a 
complete control of overwriting my log without my knowledge, especially 
considering the complete failure of the TQSL and LOTW software to 
institute station information validity check (incorrect CQ, ITU zones, 
grids, IOTAs, etc).

I hope DX4Win never turns into another iTunes garbage interface with 
their "libraries", "syncing", inability to tell what file is where and 
auto downloads and deletes.

But that's just my opinion.

73,
