Oh hey, it's me, the dude downloading italy-latest every 8 seconds!
Maybe not, but I can't help but wonder if anybody on my team (I work for an Italian startup that leverages GeoFabrik quite a bit) might have been a bit too trigger happy with some containerisation experiments. I think we got banned from geofabrik a while ago, and to this day I have no clue what caused the ban; I'd love to be able to understand what it was in order to avoid it in the future.
I've tried calling and e-mailing the contacts listed on geofabrik.de, to no avail. If anybody knows of another way to talk to them and get the ban sorted out, plus ideally discover what it was from us that triggered it, please let me know.
Hey there dude downloading italy-latest every 8 seconds, nice to hear from you. I don't think I saw an email from you at info@geofabrik, could you re-try?
Absolutely, a couple of them got bounced but one should've gone through. I'll retry as soon as I get into the office.
Edit: I sent you the email, it got bounced again with a 550 Administrative Prohibition. Will try my university's account as well.
Edit2: this one seems to have gone through, please let me know if you can't see it.
