I have been struggling with keeping my uplink alive as well. It fails daily so now I have just been manually restarting it every day. Thought it might have been a problem with my WiFi, but now the uplink program is being run on a desktop with an ethernet connection.
I finally have some time to start looking into to this deeper. Do we have any potential solutions? Seems like the @p.colbert thread indicates to just do some try ... except: to just catch it and try to handle it. I can report my own problem more specifically once I get the error messages tomorrow.
