I need a bit of help here. (Glider database down) (solved)

The glider database is down and has been for absolutely ages, and it seems like that's not going to change for a good while.
This is kind of a shame since I wanted a specific rule added to the rainbow rule which had a spaceship of a pretty ridiculous speed.
Since I haven't saved any images of it, and Internet archive doesn't seem to have the page, I want someone to find this ship:
- It moves at c/2068 orthogonally
- 8x8 bounding box
- B34578/S456
- Glider #6802 on the database
The link to the page is this if you can recover the image or something:

Must be just me, but wasn't it up just a while ago?

If you mean like a few days ago, yes
I was exaggerating, but still it's been down for over a second, and like 3 days is over a second, and that is entirely too long

Here's a snapshot of the database from the internet archive:
http://web.archive.org/web/201603092351 ... /glider.db
You will need to save this file to your computer somewhere.
You will also need to use
glider.c to search the database. You will need to change line 45 to match the location where you saved the database.
For example, running "glider 6802" should give this output:
Code: Select all
#C Glider 6802, c/2068 orthogonal
#C
#C B012345678 S012345678
#C ---XXX-XX ----XXX--
#C
x = 8, y = 8, rule = B34578/S456

Also, try to make your thread titles more descriptive. Something like "Glider database down", or "Where can I find a backup of the glider database" would be good.

Yay, that glider! thanks. (I generally don't use a desktop for running cellular automata, but saving that file might be a thing worth considering for the time the site is down)
Also, renamed the thread
