It seems that the most recent version of the /. recipe in Calibre may have caused an auto-ban to be triggered for my IP address.

I noticed the last time that it seemed to be downloading more of the site than before, i.e. I had the article + comments, and I think that the way the site is setup that it leads to recursively downloading most of the site unless strictly limited. I used to have that problem with sitescooper and plucker and have to be very careful about limiting how much of /. was spidered to create a document for offline reading.

(This would be the version included with 0.6.11 .)
