Thats exactly what it does. The Shared::Local object doesn't know where to send the data until a Shared::Retriever connects to it; the Shared::Local connects to send to Shared::Retriever on the same port that the retriever sent the data on, and the retriever listens on the same port it sent the data on. (It closes the port first, of course). This allows support of multiple retrievers able to connect to one Shared::Local.

I think I am going to add a "debug" switch (at least for now), that will spew out all sorts of data when turned on. Hopefully, this'll help sort out just where exactly you are having the problem.
