Folks,


I've just tried

  http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Search

and it works fine.

Uh, oh, it was and still is Sebastiano Vigna.  This has never changed.
Seems there is a lot FUD around here...

Please define `more robust'.  A temporary outage of less than 24 hours
for whatever reasons is nothing serious IMHO.  Additionally, it's a
weekend, and it's quite common here in Europe that university servers
are taken down for maintenance.

On the other hand, a daily SQL dump is available in the LSR download
section, together with a tarball of the used source code; whoever has
JavaScript knowledge should be thus capable to set up a mirror.
