There is, as far as I can tell, (and I've ranted about this before) no 
way out of the "can't set script while it is executing" error. You have 
to quit LC if you can and lose any unsaved work.

 From that snippet of code it looks to me like you have set things up to 
get a netWorkTransferStatus callback for *every* tsNet call, no matter 
whether it was successful or not. I don't know how you have set up your 
initialization or other tsNet calls, but can you maybe cancel pending 
messages, perhaps by creating a handler that does this and then calling 
it from a button or message box?
