    As being headed up, had tried to saved various lenses info from DPR through "Print/save as pdf" before the site would be closed.
    However to my surprise when I can do it (just a few lenses yesterday because I was in a hurry for something else), earlier today after printed 4 lenses, I got HTTP ERROR 429...
    Anyone have similar experience?

    Hello Albert.

    I have just saved this page to pdf without any errors or warnings.
    www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-eos-r6-mark-ii-in-depth-review
    24-page pdf

    Ten minutes ago I saved a five page thread on dismantling and rebuilding the Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8
    www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4254070

    View lengthy threads in Flat view before using the Print Page - print/save to pdf
    And remember to rename/number each page.

    Maybe clear your browser's cache and cookies.

    I’m on a Mac with the latest Firefox browser.
    ⌘ (Command) and i is the keyboard shortcut to bring up the security settings for whatever web-page that I am on, and I delete cookies and cache there.

    Thank you for your info.
    What I intended to do was to save the spec of lenses I have interest. Every pdf involved 1 page only.
    The issue was, after downloaded (printed) a few lenses (5 to be exact), I started to receive the error message. I couldn't even open the forum page. After 1/2hr or so,I could log in again, but after downloaded a lens spec (1 page), error again and I could not access DPR (the entire site) again.
    I would try to clear the cache to see would the error go away.
    BTW, I am on Windows PC and used Chrome.
    Thank you again for your help.

    blog.hubspot.com/website/http-error-429#:~:text=HTTP%20Error%20429%20is%20an,they%20can%20send%20another%20request.

    *"A 429 response is not technically an error — it’s a response from a server, application programming interface (API), or plugin that tells the client application to stop sending requests because they simply don’t have enough resources to accept it at this time.

    The client application usually refers to a website or app, but can also refer to individual users like the site admin or a site visitor or hacker."*

    I think we may need a bigger server.

    But I think Albert was getting that message while trying to download info from the DPreview servers, not this site's server.

    My wallet just gave a sigh of relief.

    Yes, you are right. It is the problem of DPR, not this forum.

    Phew! I looked at the server - we're OK for space so far.

    Sorry it is the problem of DPReview, not this lovely site DPReived...

    Sorry if any confusion caused.

    They've probably had to implement some form of "rate limiting" due to the amount of downloads being attempted. Here is the "official" HTTP 409 text:

    The HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response status code indicates the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting").
    A Retry-After header might be included to this response indicating how long to wait before making a new request.

    Yes, I am receiving this error just browsing around DPReview like I normally do. After waiting a couple of minutes, I can continue normally.

    I am hoping the 429 error is caused by the ArchiveTeam hitting the DPReview website pretty hard.
