[QGIS-Developer] High load on plugins.qgis.org

[Tim Sutton]

Hi all

So our fix proposal is here:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/issues/402

I don't think chasing IP addresses is a productive way to deal with it -
you end up playing whack-a-mole. I think our approach should cover most
cases. A really dedicated person could emulate the QGIS user agent but I
think that will be uncommon.

Regards

Tim
