I think I found a work around
click the # of files left hyper link
cancel the download of the current interupted file.
The next file in line should begin downloading at that point.
Make a note of the missed file to upload at a later time
and change your settings so the cpu doest go to sleep.
Apple logo>System preferences>energy saver>sleep time never

Program it what way? It already does exactly what you want it to. If the sync process is interrupted, when it resumes it just picks up where it left off. It doesn't start the transfer all over again (it does need to index the file to see where it left off, but that's it).
