I think by "What you were doing" he means what page you were trying to bring up, mainly. Other things you're doing on your computer wouldn't affect it. :p

Windows XP Pro
Firefox 1.5.0.1

Browsing the Picture Story thread and trying to refresh the page because some of the images weren't showing up. It was also showing the alt text for those little online/offline sabers instead of the images.

Hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm sure it will as I use Firefox 1.5.0.1.

I think that is the common denominator in this problem.

I'm also having problems having pictures show up (like in the picture story thread and massassian picture thread). some pictures will load, others won't. When I refresh different pictures will load and others that loaded previously won't.

Your error is the one I was trying to reference.

Can any of you fox users find out whether you're using a page pre-fetch mechanism or something else that would cause a lot of reloads of a page?

oddly enough I had fasterfox installed, so i uninstalled it.

I got the errors more after removing it :/

I'd like to point out that I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Windows XP, and aside from some database errors that everyone else seemed to be getting earlier today, I haven't had any problems at all.

The extensions I'm running are Talk Back (crash error reporting), Tabbrowser Preferences (extra tab options), and DownThemAll! (for mass downloading.)

Its also been happening when i jsut click on the Discussion forum.

Tomorrow night I'll try to figure out a better way to do this - however, it does seem to have solved our DoS problem, so I'm hesitant to remove it completely. I'll see if I can enable it on a per-directory/file basis. Sorry for the inconvenience, you'll have to live with it for another day or two.

Fasterfox, which seems to be the major cause of this, does use its own user agent when it is in action. You could probably script up a filter to allow more connections for the fasterfox useragent.

im kind of thinking that fasterfox isnt the problem. I've uninstalled it AND gotten the errors in IE.

Fasterfox can be reset to the Firefox defaults (ie no turbo charging) by going to it's options and selecting Default. You didn't need to uninstall it. :p

It's a matter of setting the threshold for the number of connections allowed per "time period" for a specific IP. So if an ip hits showthread.php too many times in one second, they are banned for a short period of time. I would really like to put this only on certain scripts or on certain domains, so that's what I'm going to try to do when I get home (set up mod_evasive on a per-directory or per-site basis instead of server-wide).
