The only time we've had missing files was immediately following a "Connection reset by peer" event. Every time3, we followed up with another -verify_all update and everything returned to normal. No .blob deletion required. Granted, we probably had 5-10 successive failures, but once it updated completely, all was good.
One other interesting note... During the height of the "Connection reset" errors, at Alfred's request, I ran "-command ticketexplorer" to generate some debug data. It revealed a Steam authentication error, which shouldn't be of issue since we all now use anonymous auth for the servers. On a whim, I added the -username and -password fields to the update command for a valid Steam account and the error went away. Interesting... Scott, you might want to consider adding auth info to your update command.
