No wonder! That works out at about 133-143 requests per user per day. Presumably due to scripts refreshing their data 24/7.

Another solution is just to host it yourself, given the code is open source. No quota worries, and you can always donate to Igor if you feel so inclined (assuming he wants/accepts donations).

I get unreasonably angry at people in inconsiderately hammering web services. Especially for some minor operation built on nothing but love.
