Where's it getting its data from? Is it slurping Peeron on the fly?
Looks like it's slurping sets that it doesn't already have cached...
And if it takes longer than 70 seconds pulling set data, it gives up.

Yes, it slurps the html pages and tries to parse them.  I won't comment
on what I think about parsing HTML ;)

(...) And the Peeron version allows you to specify parts that you own rather than just sets. So if you got some stuff at Pick-A-Brick or BrickLink, you have the option of acknowledging that you have it. Handy in terms of being able to pick your list (...)
