The apparently independent, and negative, rating from Alexa (80-something per cent of sites are faster) reminded me that I somewhere saw reference to the Digital Tradition a year or so ago - acknowledging it as a fine resource but bemoaning that it is now housed on such an unreliable site (ie Mudcat).

Is there no possibility that a university or other academic institution with proper resources might take on the DT? Catters are obviously and understandably forebearing about any shortcomings that interrupt the flow of the forum, but surely it would be desirable that researchers, performers, etc could access the DT whenever they needed to do so.
