Please please please make sure, if you have something automated downloading my SDE conversions, you have a meaningful user agent string, with some contact details in it. (if you're providing software to people, have it able to have someone fill in an email or something)

That way, when your automated update script, which runs once per minute, breaks, and just starts downloading the file once a minute, I can contact you and have you fix it, rather than me going and blocking your IP address.


Aside from that, why the hell are you checking the SDE for updates once a minute, or more. It updates once per month (or less). Check it once an hour.


"Mozilla/5.0 (en-us;)" isn't meaningful, so I can't help you fix it. I'll just block your IP, like I have a number of times.

Woo! CSM XI!
