Goddammit, is there any Internet abusing script you haven't written, AoRF?
Also, if you're still interested about the different type of bans, I got my IP blacklisted the other day, the /a/rchive probably made too many requests in a short period of time and zip stopped answering to my requests, like it was iptables -j DROP'd. It was only zip.4chan.org, I wasn't really banned from anywhere and the other domains worked. I'm guessing they included these measures after the latest rounds of DDoSes.
Thankfully, it was as easy as shoving @LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = (LocalAddr => 'other.ip.address.here'); into
WWW.pm to make all my requests bind to another interface. Not that it matters, looks like my main address works again.
