The receiver does. I'll clarify this in the docco after my API changes. The receiver has three choices: 1) close the stream without reading 2) close the stream after reading *some* of the content 3) close the stream after reading *all* the content Drivers should generally use a lazy-load technique in case of (1). They may not require disk access, resource consumption, etc, if the receiver choose to immediately close the stream. Example: the checksum already exists in the pristine store, so the receiver can immediately close the stream [rather than spooling the contents into the store]. Cheers, -g
