Don't worry, I had no intention to blame you. ;-)
The thing with this kind of limit is that it makes not too much sense for people with dynamic IP addresses. If I am unlucky, the person who had my IP address assigned before me has already connected to during the last 24 hours, so I'm screwed. On the other hand, if I chose to disconnect/reconnect every 5 minutes (eeek!) and always get a new IP address, the server is screwed. The "access quota" just does not seem to be worth the trouble. Maybe Squid in HTTP accelerator mode would be an alternative, or is bandwidth itself a problem?
