Is torrent harvester dead?

Someone around here has to be familiar with torrent harvester. It's a 3rd party app that is a torrent search engine that searches public and private torrent sites as well as torrent search engine sites like btjunkie and isohunt just to name a couple.

It still works on it's own but when I try to update it the remote server does not respond. I cannot get to the main home page as well. Does anyone know whatever happened to the site and the creator? You can still download the program from places like softpedia and download.com but I have a feeling the original creator may have abandoned the project.

Anyway, just thought I'd ask if anyone knew anything. More engines can be added manually to the program without updating so it's not completely worthless... but if anyone has info it would be nice to hear!
