Does that mean you need the V1N3 PDF reposted, or did you get it from your
secondary feed? The rationale for the method I used in posting it was to
add some fault-tolerance: even if not all of the segments don't get through,
the PAR files that are posted along with it enable recovery of missing parts
(up to 6 of them, in this case).
