IMPawards download error
Paul T:
Hi All,
whenever I try and download poster information using the IMPawards plugin 0.1.4.0 using the latest PVd (0.9.9.14) I get " HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable" . I am sure it worked before on V 0.9.9.11 but do not have a copy of my database or program for that that version to try. :'(
Great Program all the same.

Does it happen after downloading multiple posters in batch mode? Does it work again after 24 hours or so? See this topic. I don't know what, if anything, can be done about it.

This question started me to think about a general problem on all imports/plugins:
when people do an update of large amounts of data, eg selecting all movies and running a plugin on them, would it be nice to do such actions more slowly by having an option to pause between queries for each movie, or even between queries for several pages/files which belong together for a single movie?
when running such an update AFK, i wouldn't care whether it takes 1 or 12 hours overnight, but it would avoid flooding a website with requests for several movies (dozens of pages and even more files) per minute, a speed which no normal user could achieve and which even for big sites might cause some burden if too many people start doing similar ...

Hi All working again. ;D
At the time I was recovering from a major computer crash so had to reload approx 120 files. This must have blocked my IP as suggested in linked post.
Sorry did not find anything when I searched for the problem and thought it was linked to the new release.
All the best

That would be fine—if it were effective. In this case, I don't think we know for sure what is triggering this, or if slowing down down the process would avoid it. If nostra knows, he hasn't said, and the plugin hasn't been updated since this was first reported.
In the case of IMDb, I sometimes get the "take a rest" message when using the site manually, but I'm not aware of them having blocked or restricted the plugin.
