Too Many Requests error - matplotlib gallery

Hi Guys,

Accessing the Matplotlib gallery is killing access to the sourceforce matplotlib site giving the “Too many requests” error. Anytime you access the gallery, and attempt to view source of any thumbnail, the site gives the error. Then, the
entire website becomes unusable, for example, if you then try to access the docs page, it will give the same error. I’ve noticed this error only in the past few weeks.

The gallery URL is this:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html

After visiting the above URL, the entire matplotlib website is down, even home:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/index.html

Thanks for looking into this!

Guido

Thanks, this has been going on for several days now and I just filed a ticket with sourceforge.

In the meantime, a slightly out of date version of the website is available here:

sf has made some changes to their algorithm to accommodate our gallery. Appears to be working again. Details are in the sf ticket linked above.
