Due to ongoing abuse of this server, very strict access rules apply, all of
which are automatically enforced:
The maximum allowed number of simultaneous sessions is 5.
If you use a download manager, configure it properly first, as some of them have
a default number of simultaneous sessions (or 'connections') of at least 6.
The maximum session time is 2 hours.
You can start new sessions after that time, so long as the daily
maximum number of downloads has not been reached yet.
The maximum number of downloads per session is 250.
The maximum number of downloads per 24hr is 5000.
For the magazine fullpage scans, this number is halved (max 125 per session, max 2500 per 24hr).
Exceeding sessions are automatically blocked and abusers are banned for a day.
Special precautions are taken to stall leechers. Persistant leechers are
banned from the archive for 3 months.
All (trans)actions are logged. The logs are kept for a week.
The information is kept confidential (except for abuse; see below!).
HTTP
This is an on-line site. As such, there really is no need to make mirrors of
it and you are explicitly discouraged from doing so.
Most of the site is realtime generated on demand, through CGI scripts, so mirroring
will only generate CPU and memory hogs.
Please don't test it - the server is known to withstand a Slashdot with its
hands down. Thank you.

Note that all abuse is publicly listed realtime,
along with your IP address, and banned IP addresses are exchanged between
servers on the Internet for extended blocks, so please behave.
We really have a zero-tolerance policy!
