The later.

Well, assuming you intend to keep downloading rather than entering
all transactions by hand, I presume you would still download the
same "bank balance" when you next download.

I would first figure out if the "bank balance" number matches what
the bank web site says, or if that always differs.

Could I make a "compensating deposit" to increase the "bank balance" of the
register, or won't that work? Perhaps I should withdraw all funds from the
account and start over?

If this continued for over a month, would make a single compensating
transaction to compensate for the missing transactions. If you ever
trace down the missing transactions, you could alter/delete the
compensating transaction. You could also check out the opening
balance for the account, but I would usually prefer to have that be
zero and add compensating transactions where I can see them and add
a memo.

The "bank balance" of the register is what the bank reported you had
in the last download. If it is consistently less than what the bank
statements say, then that would need more investigating.

One possibility is that some fee was debited that you did not enter
as a transaction.

The account in Money is balanced, but the bank balance is less by a
consistent amount than shown after several ATM checks. How can I resolve
this?
