They are kept in a spool directory, which erases them shortly after they become unimportant. The first transmission request, for #18, came while they were there back to #8, so I sent him what he asked for. The second request came at a point that only those after #30 were there, so I couldn't fill it. Can't do it for you either. > > Failures are rare, but they hit the big updates disproportionately and > have a bigger effect on bigger updates, so it's a double lose.
