Hmm, I suppose I can measure it with Conky. I'll reboot sometime and go to an area I haven't downloaded maps with yet and see how much I can wrack up before this ban kicks in I guess.
Thanks for any help...

I've spent a great deal of time trying to sort this out, and have so far tried the following. For consistancy, I'm now only browsing to maps, not downloading any map areas, as I'm sure that will fail!:

1. Using a different internet connection. I can browse new maps for about a minute or two (not exact) until it fails.
2. Using a proxy server (was successful for about 30 seconds until I was shut down again.
3. Changed my mac address. I'm pretty sure I did this successfully, using ifconfig etc... Was able to change my mac address, but then had the same problems. However, as soon as I changed my mac address I was able to browse to a few more new spots before being shut down again!

If it makes any difference, the maps I'm trying to view are all in Brazil (going there on Vacation soon!).

sigh, running out of ideas. Are there any other maps out there equivalent to google satellite? the others I've looked at just aren't the same... when this does work, its way too cool
