I've had this message in the past, before I added a "delay" between scraping pages. The first 10-20 pages are usually without problems, but after that the server starts rate limiting your IP to reduce server load. This has nothing to do with other forum users, unless they share the same IP address.Quote
And then there is such an effect on the whole forum. I could not login my account for this problem yesterday. And I've heard it happened to a few more people. what wrong with Bitcointalk?
Are those people using the same Wifi?
