Thanks, I knew that already, but it doesn't precisely answer my question...
If a request is pending, doesn't that mean that the caching/saving/whatchamacallit of the blob by Saurik's server has not yet been made for that particular firmware ?
3 weeks ago I selected the "make my life easier" in Cydia on my wife's new iPad with 3.2. Since then, the request still shows as "pending". Today, out of curiosity, I tried FirmwareUmbrella with the iPad connected to check if the blob (for firmware 3.2) was saved on Saurik's server. It wasn't.
