I quickly browsed through the status report and update thread with the updates and that sounds like déjà vu having been in the same situation years ago. In my case a room containing high voltage electrical exploded. So it was physical damage. Bit extreme I know but the result is the same. So you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's not the astrobin guy's fault. He's got data corruption on his HD. He pays somebody to look after the servers (amazon I believe) so they should have redundancy in place for him. Truth is that it never works in the real world. There's always SLA and fine prints. If you don't do your own back up plan then you're left hanging like a piñata with everybody having a shot at you while you're still trying to fix stuff.
