nothing is wrong with the server.. as said above i have had to add some limits to how often you can connect. for everyone with the guide already there shouldnt be any issues. you will only be allowed to download the guide a few times a day, so your kodi will autoupdate itself just fine., the rest of the time the site will appear down to you.
closing and restarting kodi several times is'nt going to help.. it may just ban you again. for another 6 hours... dont do that.
Now, This will be trouble for vpn users. so, turn your vpn off to update the guide, then you can turn it back on, the grab is 3 days long so you wont have to do it that often..
All this being said..b This is only a temporary countermeasure.. between the users using the server and the idiots trying to DOS it, the server load was too high and it had to be dealt with.
Soon I will be switching over to an authentication system that uses your MAC and donation ID, it still it will only allow you to connect a few times a day and you will be blocked just the same the rest of the time, but it will allow users with the same IP to be identified and blocked independently, so users wth multiple boxes, or behind a VPN will have no issues.
