One thing that might "speed up" the updates and further developement would be for the community to make some donations to these guys for their hard work. Then maybe certain things that are dependant on a budget ie: server equipment, bandwidth increase for new users, etc... might happen as I've seen many people complaining about that. This is a community funded and supported project so c'mon guys, show your dev's some support!!!

Maybe some of the RMS guys can implement a feature to allow users to donate cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, dogecoin, etc like demonoid does.
