Calibre Blacklisting by Gutenberg
I've been using the "Store" facility of Calibre to search for books across various "Stores" including Gutenberg.
Twice now after I had been looking for books I have found that I couldn't access Gutenberg from my PC - it returned a 403 error.
Digging further I see that they ban "automated access" and I have come across other instances of Python Scripts accessing the site resulting in the users IP address being blacklisted.
Has anyone else hit the same problem or have I put two and two together and made five ?
