Unfortunately, this method of looking for triggers above ‘normal’
usage massively inhibits text and data mining.  We are in an era where
‘normal’ and ‘excessive’ need to be redefined.

Hi Richard,

In my experience publishers monitor the rate of downloading from an
institution’s IPs. If the rate exceeds “normal” usage, the publisher
notifies the institution with information of when the excessive
downloading occurred and over which IPs. More often than not the
excessive downloading occurs over the IP address connected to an
institution’s proxy server. The institution then attempts to identify
the username(s) associated with the downloads and temporarily suspends
it.

Hope this helps.
