Please do note the remark at the end of my posting. Since yesterday the home page of AlltheWeb displays a new value for indexed pages: 'Currently searching 2,142,833,819 web pages' changed into 'Currently searching 3,151,743,117 web pages' So maybe the database is now stable and I can try it once more.
