(try to show some restraint and wait for your next scheduled update, and not pour through the reopened floodgates)
13 Days of Data Available Again
Based on the feedback we've received from the scale-back to 3 days of data, as well as our data analysis, we have reset Zap2it Labs DataDirect to allow downloads of up to 13 days. This change was implemented at 4:15 p.m. on Monday, 2/13/06.
We did lessen the strain on our servers with the move to three days, but on balance, we felt that the adverse impact to end user applications outweighed our performance/availability gains.
Importantly, the underlying technical issues are not addressed -- we are simply delaying things a bit by returning to the previous settings. We will be soliciting the input of you, the Zap2it Labs community, on ideas and possible changes to the service to improve performance/availability. Look for that discussion in another thread. Thanks for your feedback and patience in this process!
