A lot of URLs stop working. If we know where they go, we can help people get to where they wanted to go, instead of a "this page does not exist" (to simplify and give an example) |

ok for example 4url.cc is down. i have one of it short url and i want to know where it point to. it seem like Chronomex is the one responible for it. the rescue is complete(site dead) so does that mean i can know where that short url point to? No. cause the data is not publish. even if it is published it will be one gaint file. Nobody would try to download that whole file to just to know one url. my suggestion is import that file to a database and create |

The project has been running for quite some time. We have several releases. The data is public. |

there's however no easy, public, service for looking up the data without downloading it. |

Yeah, that's what I meant with "easy" + "public" + "service". There's no such thing currently. |
