files are hatched out, it's a one way thing at this stage, the nodelist and infopack are sent weekly, fridays my time, possibly thursdays your time :)

those two files are hatched with the REPLACE verb so they ask your bbs to delete the old version and drop in the new one :)

Other files are hatched out as they are sent to me at Agency, some are replacements others are not.

There are some image files also being sent out.

I do need to get a process running to re-hatching old files out to nodes so that new nodes can pick them up as well as the older nodes.

there is no rescan option for files, but the HUBS (mostly) allow for files to be resent if you use the correct filefix syntax and know the name of the file you want.

hope that helps :)
