Apparently, the current version of the scraper can cause you to get banned from AniDB. I was refreshing information for all episodes based on series IDs in NFO files, (i.e. skipping title search, but re-requesting episode information) for multiple series in quick succession, (I have a lot of them and many of them needed updating artwork as I switched to Frodo RC3, which was less troublesome to accomplish by refreshing the entire series) and eventually bumped into a ban. While I intend to be more careful in the future, it seems to me the scraper should be careful to avoid this sort of thing programmatically.

Can anyone tell me how long does it typically take to get unbanned and is there a way to find out if you are without triggering an extension of the ban, by the way?
