I have fallen in love with zyGrib and use it regularly and make sure that I only download for my area and specific data, so I do not download huge data files. However today when I tried to generate some charts to carry on learning about weather in this part of the world it is saying that my IP address is blocked :(

Did I upset someone?
:oops:

Your activity on the server last days was totally unreasonable, so you are blacklisted.

More of 10 MO every 10 seconds during more than 4 minutes ... :(

Zygrib is not a shoot em up game !!!

I can't tolerate that. You are not alone on the world.
Server resources are limited, and are shared between all users, not just for you.

I preserve server from indelicate users because it is very important for me to keep zygrib totally free, without identification.
Did I upset someone?
:oops:
Yes.

Hi Jacques,

Wow... Thank you for the information...

I don't know what happened there because I use the software at 9am Australia time and just before the night at 9pm Australia time, plus the odd time during the day. I only manually download data for Australia and only the temperature, wind, cloud, air pressure and rain for surface level only, which the program says is around 3.7MB.
My internet connection is only 1 Mbit, so that is lots of data quicker than I can normally download at. :o :?:

I will check my PC and contact my internet company. I'm sorry to have caused a load on your server. :?

Good luck with your software.

Paul
