Question: Page view limit exceeded why?

This page (a website for public domain scores) tells me that my daily allotment of download page visits (2 per day per IP, I imagine) has been exceeded the first time I go to one of those pages.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.14 on OS X 10.5.1. I mostly want to know if it is browser behavior, such as pre-caching of pages. I don't think any other problem is within my power to resolve.

An additional note is that this page has worked for me before, but not for about a week. I'm not sure if this coincides with an update or not.

The site sets a cookie which counts (wrongly? it didn't seem right to me) how many download pages you've visited. If you delete all cookies relating to the domain sheetmusicarchive.net, you'll be able to visit the download pages again. Of course, it would be uncool to abuse this facility.

I tried it in IE and FF. It only lets you visit download page not 2. Its cookie based not IP based though so just deleting that cookie allows you to visit more pages.

Are you using a proxy? That & NAT can lead to false matches.
