you don't want to be setting up the download and checking for it in the
same frame.
in one exitFrame, call preloadNetThing and set myNetID.
in the next exitFrame, do the loop that checks for netDone.
and don't read the contents of the file until netDone returns true.
(also, i'm not sure if you can read it in with getPref like that. but
that's a separate issue.)
