Possibly an option for that in core coding would be nice, it would be something that's off by default of course, since it can be resourceful. It could be useful for these situations (the mod is supposed to do this however)
The mod appears not to be working, it goes to the screen about pausing to not overload the server, then it goes back to maintenance page, I guess it didn't complete.
I will ask the mod author about that later..
