Access Denied to IP Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,

your [[country]] ,client, subnet, proxy, or cache server has been identified as source of thousands of page hits resulting from robot activity. Unfortunately, while a single user may be responsible for this, the consequence of his or her actions is that an entire [[subcontinent]] subnet may now be blocked.

Readers are encouraged to use the contents of these pages for education and enjoyment, but these pages may not be copied, mirrored, or reproduced in bulk. Reproduction for commercial purposes is not permitted, nor is use of robots to create cached or archival copies, as described at

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/terms.html http://mathworld.wolfram.com/faq.html#copyright

If you are able to report the blocked IP address, identify the originator of bulk download attempts from your subnet, delete any bulk-downloaded files, and prevail upon the party responsible not to repeat such action, the block may be lifted.

We apologize for any inconvenience and hope that increased awareness of copyright and intellectual property issues on the internet will eventually result in more responsible behavior on behalf of internet users, obviating the need for access restrictions.

Please note that this block is not imposed arbitrarily, but only as a result of an analysis of excessive traffic over a short period of time received from the currently blocked subnet. Analysis indicates that this is not simply the result of many different users on a single subnet, but rather originates from rapid-fire machine-generated requests.

The accesses in question appear to have originated from
