[gtoad-devel] GC.com search blocking?

[Thomas S. <th...@st...>]

While they haven't said anything to me yet, it appears that 
geocaching.com is now temporarily blocking IP's that load a certain 
number of pages within a certain period of time. It's a bit surprising, 
since they've expressed an interest to "ensure the long term survival 
of the GeoToad application".

Once I get a better idea of how long I have to wait between fetches,  I 
will release 3.7.4 with these times as the default. Until then, you can 
edit $SLEEP in geotoad.rb.
