Description
The protection block at to many requests pretty fast.
Especially on public links it would be nice to be able to soften that or to exclude special public links from the protection.
Especially if they have a password.
So yes after a few password attempts it can block the ip. But it my case even if the password is typed in correct it block after too many requests / downloads.
