I'm rebuilding it on my shared hosting account at dreamhost.com. I'll see if I can get it built before they notice and kill my process. My account there is on a 4GB quad xeon box so hopefully it can convert the tree faster. My account has 1TB download per month so rsync will be ok. Not bad for $12 the first year.

It would take over a day to rsync it off from my home machine.
