Please don't get upset with my incessant questions, but, up until now, my computer has been showing...xxx bytes downloaded. Now it says:

Finished a frame <1>
Finished a frame <2>

and so on and so forth. What does that mean?

That's good - it means you're crunching away. The work unit you're currently crunching is split up into "frames" - as it completes each frame, it stops and saves its progress. That way, if something happens - your power goes out, for example :) - it won't have to start all over from the beginning. Once all the frames are done, the block is done, and your computer will send the results back and fetch a new block to work on.

So, bottom line is that everything looks good! :)
