Just an update, the  server has been stable processing requests fine for 
the last week.

Made a modification today so for MusicBrainz releases that arent 
currently linked to a Discogs release and that Albunack could not find a 
potential Discogs link for there is the option to add a link to a 
Discogs release of your choice. Then Albunack will start an Edit Release 
session for that release with Discogs releaseid seeded as an external 
link AND extra information found in the Discogs release but not found in 
MusicBrainz also seeded (such as catno. barcode) .

I added this option because often when browsing the discography you can 
see often probable links that were not picked up by Albunack because of 
minor differences in data , after checking the releases it is easier to 
add the extrav data via the button than doing it manually.
