Today i've received this e-mail from MaxMind about their changes to the API usage:
Code: Select all
Hello,
We are decreasing the daily download limit for GeoLite accounts, according to the schedule below:
Date of update

New daily download limit
1,000
500
250
120
60
30
Currently, we estimate that you download an average of 36 times per day. Please note, HEAD requests checking if there is a new database to download do not count towards the daily download limit or this estimate.
We recommend reviewing the schedule and adjusting how you download and distribute GeoLite databases by downloading them fewer times and then propagating them across your network yourself. Is there a way of configuring CSF so it will download these MaxMind files from an custom URL? Then it would be possible to download the data from MaxMind centrally to a server inside our network once a day and let all the servers pull the data from this central location.
Thank you!
