I love the "pure server" mode! I hope you did that just for me. :)
However I have a question about it. Will the client be asked if they want the correct files? I hope so, since many will not know how to delete the "bad" files. In your description this was not covered, or not clear to me. I can't test it today, so I had to ask!
