Is there anyway other users can help? perhaps trusted forum mebers could scrape portions of the data on your behalf using their IP's.
They would need to clear it with Theymos first and get a special code to bypass the captcha.
Can I be of any help here Vod? Is it just a bot that can be run to gather the data for you - if I get a code from Theymos and use an account to gather the information (with your self-made code that scrapes the data).
Sure, I can make changes to my parser to allow multi-user. Just PM me the user name and password once Theymos approves you.
Currently I have it running on an Amazon Windows instance. Costs me around $2/month.
How long will it take to run initially to rebuild the database to the point where your aws instance can take over?
If it's only about 12-240 hours I can run it on my normal computer, if not, I'll purchase a vps from somewhere.
