I've never had that happen. Their system has been remarkably accurate and
correct over the last few months that I've been a member. However, they seem
to have had a temporary system problem of some kind within the last few
days. Apparently nothing serious, in general, but a few hiccups here and
there, slow emails, etc. Maybe an overloaded server.
If there's a real computer glitch at Netflix, it may be with multidisk
movies coming as one title. For example Gone with the Wind, Godfather II,
and Ben-Hur come as 2 discs, but count as one title (1 movie out). They seem
to be slow to credit returns of both of those discs, maybe requiring you to
notify them of a possible loss - then they quickly "find" it.
