Hello Sarah, hello list, yes, the replag (that's the time-difference between the data at the toolserver and at the "Wikipedia-Server") is quite high at the moment and yes, that is not a good situation; but I can not change that, because I have already done all I could do and nothing can speed that more up (even a new server would not help) – we just have to wait until a new import of all data is complete (which will take until tomorrow or the day after AFAIS). Please also note, that the toolserver is a free service (like the Wikipedia) and there is no guarantee that it is working fast or working at all – it is best effort.
