I've reluctantly decided to keep things as they are as I notice I have issues when OSGrid updates, and updating myself fixes it. When it comes to HG transfer, it's dependant on the hosts internet. If your server is on your home network and your net isn't up to snuff or the grid you're trying to HG to is having asset issues or other issues, you might not get everything.
I've never ran into the issue myself so it's more of a guess then anything.
