in thread Mass downloads.

It's client side throttling. Effective when both sides play nice. If perlmonks wanted to add complexity and security, it'd have to be done on the server side. You lose some flexibility. such as, getting 10 nodes really fast regardless of the day, but at the end of the day, it was only 10 requests. Not a horrible thing, but mine is only an opinion. :)
