Title: How can I use IMPaward so that it does not block my IP?
Post by: deazo on January 27, 2010, 01:03:26 am

 The question is in the title.
 Impaward holds posters for the biggest movies (roughly 20% of what I add to pvd) so I use it first for the good poster sizes they provide.
 After downloading about 5 posters, I get blocked from ImpAward (or is it Google?) and can not search their website before about 24 hours.
 Is there a trick to avoid that?

 Thanks in advance.

As I explained here (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php?topic=1501.msg6540#msg6540), I suspect the plugin can be revised to avoid this, but that hasn't been done. The workaround is to use a Websearch instead.

  Thanks Rick,

  Yes I saw that thread but did not find the proposed workaround in it.
  I was kind of hoping someone found a way (I tried using yahoo.com instead of google in the plugin but being a total noob I was not successful)
 
  I now use a Google image websearch and if the poster is on IMPaward I usually see it in the first results.
