I'm screen-scraping data from the server to rescue as much data as possible in case it is lost forever. Hopefully hosting of it can be moved and improved but that will take months and I don't see any signs that the current situation will get better. By todays standards snapshot doesn't contain a lot of data -- 3 big SSD disks holds it all -- so I think distributing it effectively shouldn't be as painful as it is now. /Simon
