Actually, I just did a search on your page for 10143, and it was found.  Then I
did download the PDF.  So there may be something to your theory about TLG
blocking your IP range.

How much traffic do you generate when you search for instructions?

Negligible. I would guess LEGO's own instruction download page probably
generates significantly more.

To put a number on it, I have received 22329 requests to my page since April.
That's total requests, including non-search, and failed search requests. I have
no way to tell how many requests that generated for lego.com, and besides,
blocking my IP is unlikely to put much of a dent in the number of downloads they
get, because most people using my page have not been blocked.

I don't think bandwidth is the issue here, I'd just like to find out exactly
what the issue is.
