Console Error

I noticed the bot was no longer syncing and saw this in the console a few times and it looked like it crashed.

Failed to connect to SFTP server: can't start new thread

Yeah this is an issue with paramiko (the library that handles the file transfers) not always properly closing connections. I recommend setting the syncing server to restart daily if younare having this issue.

Still trying to see if i can implement a fix for it. But its an underlaying issue with paramiko itself
