hehe--yes, it is a bit of wry humour.

Seriously though, some clients would repeatedly hammer the source with requests, so the developers made it so the hammered server could just ignore (ban) requests from the 'greedy' client.

I don't think the ban is permanent: I think it just lasts for the current session.

The ban is a bit of a problem though, and I hope it can be fixed in the next beta. For example, it looks like the client browsed you, and selected 21 of your files to download. Your server gave him the first, but treated the rest like repeated requests, leading to the "banned" message. There is a call for "clent-side queuing" that would allow the client to request more than the limit, but only send requests after the first had completed. This would avoid the situation you noticed and still protect servers from the automated hammering that was so harmful. I hope a coder can write the patch in time for the next beta release.
