EMPiRE is on a distinguished road
The problem has been resolved (for now)

The 2 ip's you are/were using where blocked by our downloadscript as the are known "Spam Harvesters", but after some checking they also seems to be webcache/proxy-servers so most likely someone else is abusing it....

If the "SPAM Harvesters" continue to scan our sites then we will be forced to block them. Then just do not use the webcache/proxy-server (in IE or FF) and directly serve to GCW (as we will also be blocking the site itself in the near future)
If it is not possible to bypass the webcache/proxy-server then you should complain @ your ISP about the abuse going on on their servers

Your ISP is using a total of 8 webcache/proxy-servers in the same ip range which are all tagged to be "SPAM Harvesters"....
