Hi Tim
The proxy could be the problem. Try altering the settings. See
https://spideroak.com/faq/questions/27/how_do_i_make_spideroak_connect_usin..
I doubt it will be anything to do with 64 vs 32 bit. I am running
both, on different machines of course.
Could be a python library version incompatibility, but the error
message you quoted doesn't make that likely.
Cheers,
Anne.
