I saw http://ur1.ca says "UR1 Database is available in
tab-separated values format." So I thought it might be a good idea to try to download it. But when I click on the Database link I get a ur1.ca.txt.gz file, but it's only 33 bytes and contains no readable text, even if gunzip'ed.
Yeah, I think the backup isn't working really well.
Uh, I hope there is some kind of backupping. If an url shortener service like ur1.ca would break, this would render lots (maybe millions?) of microblogging postings meaningless.
