Topic: XML error when adding artwork

I've been mass-editing some releases recently and adding album artwork, and up until now it's gone smoothly (with the exception of the ever-so-problematic 502 errors I get on this site). Now when I try to add a cover art image, I get an XML error telling me to reduce my request rate. I have included a screenshot as proof. Is there some kind of quota I'm running afoul of?

There is. See http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XML_Web_Serv … e_Limiting
I also must note that this is the first time I've ever seen someone got that error :)

That's not what I had in mind, nor does it seem relevant. Usually these rate limits only apply to applications that automatically send requests at fixed rates. I'm not using any specific application, everything I do is manual input.

Re: XML error when adding artwork

http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4661 everyone is getting this (or a lot of us at least). And since it's Sunday there are no developers around to fix it (why must everything break on a Sunday?) so... we'll have to just wait until it works :(

It's back!  I just added to two different releases.

Yep, it's back here too. I've got a backlog I need to add.
