When iTunes verifies your restore for your 3gs phone, it 'phones home' to see if you are allowed to restore to the version you are requesting. With TinyTSS + the shsh blob file(s) you obtained with Umbrella, you will be able to restore to the version of those shsh files forever!
People may wonder why I did this when Saurik is already doing the same thing. I'll explain my philosophy. I admire Saurik for what he has done and I thank him for pointing me in this direction. I simply think that I would rather have my shsh blobs on my personal machine AND on his server for safe keeping. This way if something happens to cydia, I can still restore my phone to the version I want to restore to.
Plus I have the peace of mind knowing that my files are safely in my possession. I don't have to worry that some catastrophic event could render my downgrades impossible.
So use cydia's shsh storage feature! But use Umbrella and TinyTSS if you are a power user that wants control over your own ecid shsh files and want to be able to use your own machine for restores.
I've fixed a bug that I introduced accidentally. I had forgotten to add a library or two to the Manifest so it wasn't able to run from the jar.
UPDATE: I've revamped the readme file. It should be a bit more informative. Also removed an error on JRE 1.5 on Leopard

I've gotten quite a few questions about donations. I'll accept donations but I want it clear that I did this for fun.
