Podling, I know your pain man. I got my final letter in about 2 PM on the 31st. I missed the deadline for Colo, Wake, and one other program that I can't think of off the top of my head. Wake and Colo downloaded my letter when they downloaded the Dean's letter. I don't know if the will still consider the app since it was late, but they did download the letter.

I hear you, 2003... it really blows! I bet it was a huge relief to get your LOR before all the Nov 1st deadlines. Fortunately I've already got all the LORs I need to satisfy program requirements. However, I would like to get this additional one added to my file. I can't help but wonder if the LOR would still have any impact if I were to hand deliver it to programs while there interviewing.
