Bug Description

Intermittently I get this error after restarting the python client or the entire box. I have to restart the client several times before it then starts working.

Seems to be some kind of race where the log object hasn't been fully instantiated before the DownloadManager parses RequiredFiles.

It's odd because the log object is created and started before the DownloadManager is - so perhaps need to look at some way of locking the startup of subsequent objects until the log object is happy.
