Its intermittent but about 50 times a day between web and terminal, or any different software the copy just doesn't take until i do it a second time. It is so ridiculous that you can't just test it and figure out ... like maybe you could patch that copy is double processed until you figure out why its fucked up so at least we can copy ... reliably.
