Cloudflare protection and files downloading

[moroz1999]

I'm trying to copy releases and screens from ZXDB to ZX-Art, but I cannot get past the Cloudflare protection. My update bot is getting that HTML with text "Checking your browser before accessing spectrumcomputing.co.uk" instead of file content.
Is there some legitimate way to do it? How is zxinfo.dk updating it's media files?

Hi [mention]moroz1999[/mention],

If you are copying a lot then Clouflare probably sees you as a threat.

If you have a fixed IP address please PM that to me and I will add you to the trusted list.

Please also do any copying between 1100 and 0600 GMT so it avoids impact on other users.

Thank you!
I'm usually doing file copying for new releases only, and only in one stream, and it's not constant, but interrupted for some ZX-Art related processing and database update. I will run this at night, no problem. And since it's everytime a manual operation, I'm only doing it once in 2-3 months at most

It's not smart to post any IP you are using. I would PM Peter with it and delete them from your post.

[moroz1999]

Why? That seems a public information to me, because anybody can see it if they ping zxart.ee and its mp3-storage

From a second thought you are right. If I would like to change infrastructure (for a ddos shield, for example), then it would not be public anymore.

The only time I've seen (permanent rather than a few hours) issues with C.Flare*** is when the 'viewer' is using a rapidly changing IP, not just dynamic but changing often causing it to mistake the connection for a new one.


*** Aside from when it attempts to cache dynamic rather than static content but I think those are old memories now thankfully.

@moroz1999 and I have now resolved this issue.

Thanks a lot! Everything is working just fine.
