I second Ross that we're likely hitting that problem. We have
discussed that with Ross before and there seems to be no workaround
other than to download the whole database.

Solutions I see:
- always fetch the whole database
- go back to the old legacy system with JSON dumps (which is still online)
- have an "official" YP mirror of the database

Probably a subject we could discuss at the today's call.

Kind regards,
