Overview

Welcome to NTSG's public data repository at files.ntsg.umt.edu.

This data server utilizes intrusion prevention software to ban IP addresses that exhibit suspicious behavior. If you find that you cannot access this data repository, it may be because you have been banned.

Please visit us at ntsg.umt.edu and get in contact with one of our staff if you have any questions or concerns.

IMPORTANT: Scripts that run too aggressively may result in the server banning the originating host for 10 minutes (you know this happened if the website seems to be “down”). You can alleviate this by ensuring to space HTTP requests such that you do not exceed more than 3 or 4 requests per second
