My hosting providers automated DDOS filter is blocking me as a suspected DDOS attacker because after a few minutes of browsing and setting up my XOOPS site I had 311 http requests. My XOOPS site is setup fairly standard. I do have a different theme, (simplicityblack), which has between 30 and 45 images on most pages. My hosting provider support person said that my browser should be getting most of those images from cache after the initial load of the first page, but appears to be reloading every image on every page. He also said that I am the only person in the entire history of their service who has encountered this problem.

My questions:
1) Has anyone else had this problem?
1a) How did you resolve it?
2) Is there something in the configuration of XOOPS that I might have done wrong that is causing this?
3) Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to resolve this?

My web site is:http://www.churchofquantumspirituality.com/
My hosting provider is:http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/
I am using XOOPS 2.2.3, PHP 4, and MySQL 4.1

Peace,
Sean

It is a shame you didn't use the latest release of 2.0.16 - as the 2.2 branch is marked as "not recommended"

Anyway - good luck with the site.

I was using 2.0.16 and was having the exact same problem. That's why I decided to try 2.2.3.
