The site will ban you for a minute or two if your computer opens up too many connections. Are you running a web accelerator plug-in on your browser or computer? If so, you may be flagged as a DOS attacker and get a temporary IP ban...  Can also be caused if you hit refresh too many times without waiting for the previos page to finish loading.

 

it is fine now, what does the web accelerator do? make the browser even faster?

 

They are evil and open up multiple connections (like 50 or more) to the server at a time, and try to download pages in adavabce.  A normal browser opens up 1-4 connections at a time.  Basically they put an unreasonable and unfair load on a busy server.

 

Try the following while visiting the site to see how many connections your computer has open to vgchartz (after start, run, cmd) (best to test while it's loading a page):

netstat -n | find "64.251.19.12"

If more then 4 that are in SYN_SENT or ESTABLISHED then you probably have some sort of accelerator.
