Apologies for the occasionally slow response you've had from this site over the last few days; in the past few days there have been several attacks on the site, some distributed, some not. We're doing our best to squash these attacks as soon as we see them, and in the case of non-distributed attacks, IP addresses which originate these attacks are network banned and their ISPs are notified.
Let me just take this opportunity to warn people not to try to 'scrape' this site down to a local copy, especially not through poorly constructed spidering tools. This site is hosted on a dedicated machine, but it has finite resources and is normally very busy in any case. If any one IP is seen to be causing excessive load on the server for any reason (that means multiple hits per second over a sustained period – ie an automated tool and not a person), it will be banned without warning. You will lose access to the site completely, and you will have some serious explaining to do over email to get your IP unbanned. We will not tolerate people abusing the site and causing problems for other users.
