Thanks, I’d heard about such a resource but never tried it myself. I thought I’d go see if my (free) stuff was on there yet.
That site is one of the slowest I have ever used. I have a fast ADSL connection, but any interaction with that site (for instance choosing an item from a popup menu) resulted in OVER 1 MINUTE of to-and-fro with the server (I timed it). That is ridiculous; 8 seconds is regarded as the "give up" threshold[1]. Search engines strive for approx. 0.5 second response time[2].
Going via a logging proxy I can see part of the explanation. Choosing an item from the Type menu on the Advanced Search page sent 42 individual requests to the server – before submitting the form, this while just setting search parameters! This is on a Sunday evening – can’t imagine what it’s like when it gets busy.
This, on top of the news that they daily discard posts from their user-to-user forums because their software has a hard upper limit on number of posts it can cope with – unlike, for instance, just about every other web forum built in the last 10 years. On the basis of these web experiences I don’t see how they can expect to be taken seriously.

There’s my site, http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/ and probably many others.
