I received a helpful reply to my question about the permitted rate of image requests from the Fourmilab Earth viewer. Although the 'service denial' message tells me that I've made too many requests within a 10-minute period, the rule itself is apparently that if you make 100 requests without a 10-minute gap then you are locked out. I ran it overnight with one request every 15 minutes and I was not locked out. This still works rather well as a screensaver, because the cloud imagery only updates every few hours anyway, and the day/night boundary doesn't move very far in 15 minutes.
