MediaTemple Blocks IPs when Uploading Lots of Files

It almost never fails - when I'm uploading a lot of files (typically I see this when I'm uploading a vBulletin update) - my server will eventually boot me out and refuse to connect for 10 to 15 minutes (or longer).

Nobody's ever been able to give me a reason why or tell me how to fix it. It just happened again. All the server reports back is "connection failed" and I'm booted mediatemple-wide. I can't even access OTHER accounts (not the same dv account, literally other accounts) on mediatemple. My IP is clearly blocked for awhile.

Not cool.

  1. If that's your webhost, it sounds like you need to take tour business elsewhere. That's just unacceptable.

  2. Yep, time to switch web hosts:
