Unexpected error: 503 Server Error: Service Temporarily Unavailable #21

I used CTRL+C to stop downstream.exe and then I'd start it again. I did this couple of times. On two occasions I got "Unexpected error: 503 Server Error: Service Temporarily Unavailable"

C:\win-downstream>downstream.exe

You are being rate-limited by our server. If you try to make more than 5 requests in a second from one IP address, you will be denied. Under normal usage, this shouldn't happen, but if you Ctrl-C and restart the farmer quickly, you will see this issue.

Okay, that's exactly what I was trying to test and I'm glad to hear that some sort of DDoS protection already exists.
(I made like 5 logins within 10 seconds, but maybe that translates to 5 HTTPS requests per second.)
