Mastering TS Net

Like Jacque mentioned, I don't think you need to bother with tsNet for
local files since they should be almost instantly loaded.
I too struggled with tsNet when I first tried to implement it, but
this website helped me more than the LiveCode pages:
https://www.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet-resources/
The problem you are encountering is that you can only have one unique
ID referenced at a time (first parameter). If you try to make another
call using that ID before the first call is returned then you'll get
an error. Once a call with the ID has been finished (successful or
not), that ID is recycled and available for use again.
The documentation doesn't explain well (in my initial understanding)
that this doesn't have to be "1" or even a number. I experimented with
random(10000) as my pID before encountering that same "ID already in
use" error and discovered that for most of my uses I could just
hard-code a text based ID that made more sense to me when
troubleshooting like "get new image" or "check for updates" or even
some variable with a unique value (like your tFileName).
