Even if you are not downloading, or have not been downloading on badongo, most likely what is happening is that another users that is using your same IP
address is blocking your connection.
Please do not use upload services that use IP-based identification.
Message to badongo (just in case any of their employees are ZDoomers and see this thread):
It is severely unprofessional for any organisation that has the financial resources, such as a corproration, to use IP-based identification. The reason is that IP sharing is no longer the exception but the rule. Every DSL ISP and their dog uses it these days. While hobbyists and amateurs often don't have the resources to use another method, no company or organisation has any excuse. IP sharing is a fact of life. Suck it down.
