My servers are of course configured to monitor activity and deny access to sites that violate the netiquette guidelines. Continued rapid-fire requests from any site after access has been denied (for instance through a 403 Access denied HTTP response) will be interpreted as a network attack attempt and will find an according response... without hesitation and without further warning.
In most cases such erroneus request-processes are run by well-intentioned but thoughtless neophytes, ignorant of common sense, yet at times there have been outright attacks against my sites.
I have no intention of inconveniencing in any way my many readers just because a small handful of incapable morons, with neither interest in nor understanding of my actual content, is utterly incapable of abiding common netetiquette guidelines.
This said, if some specific application, or private mirror, or legitimate spider, requires relaxation of the above guidelines, contact [me] in advance for any attempted download. I'll most probably allow it.
