From here it seems slower than usual. They're taking forever to encode
tracks in 320K format (possibly because it's the first time the tracks
have been ordered in that format). I'm hoping the delays are only
because they're struggling to catch up with a backlog of demand.

Another thing I noticed is that I received notification e-mails from
them in the last couple of days telling me that tracks I ordered were
ready for download. Problem is, I had already downloaded the tracks
before the site went down. Perhaps they've had a major crash and
reloaded a lot of stuff from backup...?

Anyone know if it's true that some of their servers were seized by the
Russian authorities? And if so why?
