[sword-devel] Failed to sync config file with master remote source list

[Teus Benschop]

Hello,

The issue of not being able to synchronize the config file with the master
remote source list still has not been resolved. I initially thought that it
was related to something in the IP routing, but that should have been
resolved by now. It is now 9 days later, routing issues should have been
resolved by now.

Today I installed BibleTime again and tried to synchronize with the master
source list, and that also does not work as it should be and as it used to
be.

One issue that may affect this is that I am running the Bibledit demo
website from my home IP address, and the site refreshes the SWORD sources
regularly, and since it's a public site, the search engines that crawl the
site could do the refresh of the SWORD resources too.

I now wonder whether the site hosting the master repo list perhaps has
blocked my IP address? That address is 77.166.128.156
and 2a02:a444:1de1:0:5814:9eed:7981:b98f.

So the question is whether this IP address is blocked, perhaps due to
making too many requests.

(If there's too many requests, I am committed to resolving that.)
