Also, maybe someone else will have this problem, if it hasn't been mentioned here yet.

OH GOD! 
What did I do?
What happened:
1. fresh sync using a windows computer, dl'd blockchain from OP.
2. opened wallet file, synced from when it last was opened a few days ago, it picked up new tx's and showed the right balance
3. typed save, the program hung and displayed nothing after 'enter', just went to a new line (cursor was blinking)
4. got bored of staring at it, so I called its bluff, and closed the window
5. went to open wallet, printed: failed to read file 'wallet name'
6. moved the 'wallet name' file out of the directory, leave 'wallet name.keys' file in place
7. re-opened wallet, got above code in bitmonerod 4 times in a row (even with refresh command), got below code in simplewallet once:
I don't have det seed/viewkey
What did I do?
Code:

SOLVED: What I did that made it work was typing exit in simplewallet (made new 'wallet name' file), then restarted daemons and comp and now it's syncing happily no errors. I prob only needed to type 'exit' to make the 'wallet name' file, think I had to do something like this before .. but I def don't remember the simplewallet hanging.
This (hanging) has happened on more than one occasion, and might possibly be related to running different cryptonote daemons on the same computer.
Here's the log file at step 4, :
Code:
2014-Nov-01 02:05:30.943162 Read command: save
2014-Nov-01 02:05:46.792789 Got control signal 2. Exiting without saving...
No errors reported, the next line is opening the wallet back up, and the previous lines are just the orig sync
Also, I feel it's extremely important to say that I've decided to use Monero to heat my place for the coming winter, thanks for the savings
