Hi all,

I use Mechanize and Hprioct to submit repeated queries to a website of  
interest about 100-200 times, download some small files, parse the  
pages, and save them. But after fecthing 35 pages the process stops. It  
looks like the website only permits a limit number of access from a  
specific machine/PC. Is it possible to know the maxim number of query  
for website?

Thanks,

Li
