Stack Overflow, stop blocking me

why would anyone need a stack overflow content scrapping bot given they release all the data CC licenses anyway?

This is why my vpn setup is done via Rackspace. I gave up fighting this backwards ass approach to the problem.

Use tor. I know it is a suboptimal solution but atleast you will not have to suffer so much...

They do have rate limit requests per any IP. Try hitting F5 lots of times.

HN?
