I built among others http://recovermywebsite.com, which can retrieve your page from the Yahoo or Bing cache. It took more like 100-300 hours instead of 10 :)

That's cool, my mate cancelled his hosting recently and forgot to download his files. The website needs replacing anyway but if this works at least he'll be able to get the old one online again.

Thanks!
