  I wonder why it can't just go on a queue that gives you some 30 
seconds before timing out and giving you an error message?


  It makes me wonder if distributed computing could come to the 
rescue. I can volunteer a VM or MySQL server from my computer if 
need be; If you did that you'd probably distribute out say older 
archived data (everything from 2011 and before); since if you did 
that you could distribute it to as many alternate servers as you 
want. Course if it's all the 2012's present data that is giving 
us the problem, then it wouldn't help by much :P

  I think I can also set up access to a MySql server on a public 
website that could be used as well, or get web service for about 
$1 for a year. It's an option...
