datamining

Hi all,

today I had a strange experience with my ISP. They disabled my password for internet connection, and when I called them, they enabled it again, but they didn't say why it happened.

In the last couple of days I was running a data mining that I made for one forum to get some useful info about business that I'm in.

So I thought, maybe my ISP figured that 10,000 page requests in couple of hours to the same site may be some kind of attack.

What do you think, does it qualify as an attack? Is it even ok to data mine in that way?
