Well ... I do prefer messages that do not force me to press one more 
"ok" every time.
In my opinion the right place would be the upload/download dialog itself 
so users can read instructions before to start clone process but this 
would involve changes to the dialog to display the correct message at 
every radio model change. Nothing I can do in the little time I have 
today ;)

blocks start from 0 and is incremented only after receiving a good ACK.
Anyway I'm pretty sure that while testing I saw each message for each of 
the patch I sent, don't you?
