The log kept on the server is compared to that, if none is
found then all the adds that should have been there are
downloaded. They're no dummies. The program has been made
to take into account people who delete that directory. The
message transfer, after deleting, gets all the ads back.

Did that when I first filled it out.

Did that to stsrt with and on one reply I thought would
be pertinent in that respect.
