    Hi there – we’ve been blocked on our IP address on the plugins repository. We both contribute to plugins there and we also check out various plugins from the svn repo. As there’s quite a few of us working through the IP address these days, and it was a busy day when the block happened, we’re thinking that a few spots of tagging and branching of some large projects caused to hit some sort of rate limit.

    We’re still fine for core and theme repos but we hit those less in general.

    Our office IP is 151.237.236.118

    I’d say we’re a well behaved bunch – we don’t ‘develop on’ the svn, but we’re doing checkouts from it. In nearly ten years of this we’ve never run into this sort of problem but there are ten devs in the office now, all running various Vagrants and is it possibly causing too much load? What’s the official advice and is there any way to be unblocked. We’d cheerfully contribute to costs of running SVN repo if there was a path to do so as well.

    Obviously we can route around this, but we’d rather not have to.

    Unless busy is tantamount to a DDoS, I highly doubt we blocked your IP (and 10 devs? Unlikely at best). If so, you’d be blocked from everything on www.ads-software.com (we don’t selectively block you just from SVN unless we’ve had to block you for abuse which is really rare).

    What error are you actually getting? You can email plugins AT www.ads-software.com and we’ll check it out, but the odds are more that your router or routing tables need a refresh.

    This IP actually was blocked. I pinged the systems ppl, unblocked now. Sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll look into it further.

    Thank you so much Samuel. Very much appreciated.

    If we’re doing something wrong, do let us know! We obviously don’t want to be bad actors.

    Hi Samuel,

    Thank you for unblocking us. If it’s something that we’ve done wrong let us know so we can look into how to prevent it happening again. It’s possible someone on site may have opened up the repo in TortoiseSVN repo browser – which is pretty heavy.

    Thanks again,

    Steve
