I often leave DX4WIN running and Telnet connected for DX spots 24/7.
When I am home, I can check the window every time I walk by the shack
to see if I see any Red or Yellow spots. If I'm not home, the telnet
window collects all the spots so that when I return I know what
activity has occurred while I was gone and in some cases the DX
stations are still there when I return.
Question - I'd love to avoid leaving my computer running 24/7 if
possible. Are there any internet based services out there that can
collect the spots while my computer is offline and allow me to fill my
DX4WIN spot window from those saved spots when I bring my computer
back online?

One of the options that comes with the default list of cluster locations
is the ability to pull down spots from DX Summit. You could pull down
1000 spots (or even more, I think) and see if that helps.
Of course, it's not going to help much to find something rare that went
off the air 8 hours ago, but it would let you know that they might be
around.
