    1 The Merkle Tree over the shares is stored on each of the {{{N}}} servers.  If a server has the correct share, but its copy of the Merkle Tree over the shares has been corrupted, then the downloader //could// download the share and check it using a copy of the Merkle Tree which was downloaded from a different server.
