sorry to reply to my own post, but I had to say that one of my co-workers is a huge WoW player, but has never complained once about getting the updates. He too is here in Santa Barbara, and uses Cox.
As it turns out, it was our cataloging system that died. The gentoo box (frontend) uses a z39.50 connection to our general campus library catalog, where all the cylinders have been cataloged, and queries the database. Unfortunately this interface has died a couple times now since Friday morning..... Our catalog sysadmin noticed a large traffic spike Friday night/Saturday morning of the likes she has never seen! I guess we never planned to have our catalog/. 'ed

I believe the music curator and his staff have transfered their cylinder collection to a lossless format prior to cleaning. I say this not as anyone who knows what the hell I am talking about with regards to the audio processing aspect of this project, but as one of the system admins associated with the Davidson Library at UCSB, where the project is hosted. By the way, the front end is just an old gentoo box, please don't beat it up to bad. I don't want to work on the weekend!

....unless you use their business network.....I get to pull down the occasional torrent without issue, and I am on the border of Santa Barbara/Goleta.
