Wow, would be perfect and help out the project!

I know, I know. But I'm doing this on localhost to a local disk :(

My 2 cents:
 -) provide a WebDav backend
 -) should work more stable so signatures are found and broken pipe 
errors are gone
 -) should work stable within cygwin so the same tool can be used for 
Windows + Linux

If it's more stable it's a perfect tool!
