In the last six weeks I have sent four different requests to the server for
the WSMR PD archives. One request was filled and returned the next day.

I am wondering if the remaining info requests fell into a black hole. 

 How long are info requests queued and how long should I expect to wait
for a reply? Can it really take two months before a rrequest is processed?

(This is the first time I have tried to get something from the server. I am
not at all familiar with how it handles requests. )
