The link was down for about two weeks, so we FTPed the sequence batches from 
GenBank for that period, and loaded them into the Update bank by hand.  So we 
should not have lost that many for that reason.

One question is therefore whether many sequences missed being sent out in the  
update feed.  1,000 seems a lot to have missed.
