What does bad package acknowledgement mean?

[Bakwetu]

I just flushed and got this message
"[Oct 27 15:41:06 UTC] The keyserver says: "Why is a cow ? Mu. (Ommmmmmmmmm)"
[Oct 27 15:41:25 UTC] Retrieved RC5 work unit 500 of 500 (100.00% transferred)
[Oct 27 15:41:35 UTC] Sent RC5 packet 7 of 16 (43.75% transferred)
[Oct 27 15:42:36 UTC] FlushRC5::Bad packet acknowledgement. (0.168)"

What's up? Something to do with the recent problems?

You'll see that once in a while. It just means there was a hiccup in the network between you and the proxy. Your client just takes the block it was trying to send and sticks it back in the out buffer. If you try to flush again, it will probably go through.

This is a just a way to make sure the data actually gets through. If the client doesn't get a valid check on each block it sends to the proxy, it assumes it didn't make it and saves it for later.
