We're still locked out of the Truman safari account in general, so
don't suspect the proxy yet.
For a bit more clarification, activity that safari interprets as
"spidering" is disallowed in the license. Various behaviors that
safari interprets this way include writing a program to download all
or part of a book, using various web access accelerators such as print
commands that attempt to follow links, manually clicking rapidly
through a number of pages, using Adobe Acrobat to read the site, and
opening multiple links at once from a single page (such as multiple
links on the table of contents page). Any of these activities may
trigger safari's spider detection code and lock Truman out. So,
please don't.
