Earlier tonight, we had to block the IP that Savewebbot was using because it was making too many requests, too rapidly.
Could you please make the following changes to the bot so that we can re-enable the IP?
* Throttle the requests to one a minute.
Right now, we're trying to understand what causes load to spike and we found that the edits this bot is making cause a lot of problems.
In the future, we may be able to allow more requests, but for now, we we need to ask you to slow down.
* Please use a unique User-Agent that identifies your bot and, optionally, provides a way of contacting you. An email or user name would do for this.
When we begin to have problems with bots we need to be able to quickly identify their owner. The easiest way is the User-Agent string.
I've put these bot guidelines on the wiki at https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/WikiApiary:Bot_guidelines and linked to them from https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/WikiApiary:About.
Thank you for your understanding,
Mark.
