I find Goodreads has the best series information, so I've been use the PI to correct a lot of the series and series index entries in my libraries.

Now Goodreads seem to have started blocking my IP address. If I try and use the PI I get 0 results, and trying to open any Goodreads webpage opens blank.

This happens even if I am logged into my Goodreads account at the time. Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know a solution? I rely on this a lot. Thanks.

Edit: Looking at the API Terms & Conditions, it says they allow a maximum of 1 request a second. Anyway I could limit it to this?
