Error: You are crawling too fast. Please come back in a few minutes #34

The OEIS servers can generate this when the backend is bombarding it with too many requests. Instead of just bailing out when this error occurs, backscope should recognize the error and cool it for a while. We want to be polite users of the OEIS.
