Thanks!
I have verified it is up for us.

I think that might be a good idea.
Just so you know some use cases for the web site:
I am getting a lot of interest in Lua where I work and people use a script I created to make a self contained Lua sandbox with the useful modules installed. This downloads everything (Lua source, LuaRocks release, and modules through LuaRocks) and builds it on their machine.
We also use something similar on our continuous integration setup, so when it can't get at LuaRocks install files I am alerted right away.
I know that this is a bunch of work, but I think LuaRocks is a big part of Lua these days.
Just my two cents.
