See derobert's previous post:

So, as I was asked to do, doing it right here and right now - hereby I'm reminding you of this problem. Here, I've done it. So-o-o... bloody when?
From my previous post: "Uploads will come back first—probably FTP, then web shortly after (I seem to recall the web upload code actually talks to the FTP server—if not, web may come first). Streaming will be next—the big hurdle there is I either need to get Phade to hook back up & turn on Kero so I can copy the encodes off, or alternatively re-encode them all. Re-encode them all will take a while (as in months, but of course we'll start with the popular ones, or ones that are requested, or something like that), but would give us an excellent opportunity to up the video quality."
previews == streaming, sorry if that wasn't clear!
TL;DR - previews require either a LONG time to re-encode or a shorter, but probably still long time where the old server (which he doesn't have access to without help) is available. So, previews will be awhile. If you want them to come back faster maybe you can find a way to provide additional resources to speed up the re-encoding.
