I purchased some tracks for my annual holiday mix and in the midst of downloading, iTunes crashed. <grumble>
I hunted around and found the files representing the tracks: all zero-length — empty — files. And I got a receipt for the purchase so iTunes thought it had delivered them. So I took a look at the iTunes pages at Apple.com and found that iTunes is able to verify if files got downloaded and if not, complete the delivery.

Very nice. Now I can get back to playing with this mix . . .
