Perhaps it would be possible to mirror the gems as opposed to the site 
itself? From what I can tell everything is coming from and relying on 
one server on what appears ( forgive me if I'm mistaken ) to be a DSL 
line. I've got servers and bandwidth spare in a datacentre, and I would 
love to use it for something useful as opposed to sitting there idling 
away....

Anyway, just a thought :)
