The users that hit mine, hit my limits. So "one bad apple does in fact
spoil the whole bunch, girl." :)

But fear this, at <http://www.tenmax.com/teleport/pro/features.htm>:
<li><b>Ten simultaneous retrieval threads</b> get data at the
fastest speeds possible
<li>Server-side image map exploration -- translates server-side
maps into client-side maps for offline browsing
<li>Server Overload Protection -- prevents remote servers from
overloading and dropping connection early
<li>Configurable Agent Identity allows Teleport Pro to impersonate
popular browsers; gets data from even the stingiest servers
Sounds to me like they are precisely at odds with anyone doing the
kind of blocking that I want to do.
