Neither of these is completely true. The search does do a match but only on certain fields that are determined by the type of search you choose. And, the boxes only occasionally get really busy, usually around 10am-2pm CST on any given weekday. Weekends are pretty quiet. Right now one of the boxes is just having a bit of a problem with a network card that apparently is hard to obtain a replacement for. *>(Plus, all my CPAN.pm setups are now failing to work, too....) CPAN.pm shouldn't be configured to use search.cpan.org as your mirror. If you are having problems reaching mirrors, that's a completely different department and you can always choose new ones at http://mirror.cpan.org/ e.
