 Lately I've been seeing a lot of "The IO Thread was interrupted" error
 message which made me think. I know what this means but I'm a java
 programmer. This is an inappropriate message for a typical end user who
 will likely not know what either "IO", "thread" or even "interrupt" means
 in this context. Furthermore, it doesn't tell me which file had the
 problem.

 This message should be changed to something like "filename could not be
 uploaded because servername closed the connection" or something like that.
 You can probably do better than that, but you get the idea. Test out the
 error message on a few non-programmer friends and see if they understand
 it.
