[QUOTE="Ommina_AniDB, post: 410800, member: 91071"] OK. I'm sorry for opening with a quote from a 14 month old message, but this is most assuredly [b]not[/b] the case, and the plugin's habit of doing a full login / query / logout cycle for each query is making me cranky. If the client is likely to send another request within ~20 minutes, the client SHOULD remain logged in. In short, as long as you hashing thread is occupied, you shouldn't be logging off. Logoff only after all hashes are done. In the future, clients that exhibit this behaviour will likely be autobanned. Also, and I want to put this in the strongest possible terms, do [i]not[/i] scrape the AniDB HTML pages (and I note that there is still code that does so). If there is some bit of data that you desperately need, by all means, submit a feature request for it. I'm not adverse to adding additional commands for projects such as this, so long as they are feasible (no, sorry, I can't give you "lookup by CRC"). Better I add new commands than clients scraping pages. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
