I wonder if a distributed solution would work. If you could get multiple people
to dedicate some cpu time and bandwidth, then no single person would be
responsible for the whole thing. For instance, you might have several mirrors
that people can choose from, such as:

Please select a mirror:

[ University of Alabama at Burmingham ] [  Up  ]
[ Andrei's Server at his House ]        [  Up  ]
[ Russell's Server at his House ]       [ Down ]
[ ... ]                                 [  Up  ]
etc...

This way if someone had an extra computer and could dedicate it to the CCC
search engine most of the time, they could still use it for other things if they
needed to without having to shut down the search engine completely.

For instance, I have a computer that I use for running matches (dual cpu) and
most of the time it just sits here not doing anything. I would guess there are
others here who have a spare computer they could dedicate "most" of the time,
but they can't guarantee that it will be available all of the time, so no one
volunteers.
