Overusing our search engine with a very large number of searches in a very short amount of time. Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content. Running a "scraper" or "downloader" program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection. Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine. There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. 
Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic.
Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does. Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse. The most common causes of this issue are: Through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. Stealth Optional is supported by its audience. But if you do want to download a Steam game, you are going to have to keep your computer on. So overnight is a good shout, as you are less likely to have other people competing for bandwidth. You can also try to download your game at a time when there is as little network traffic as possible. At least that way, you can let your download continue without having the screen on, hopefully minimising energy consumption and heat. This will then allow you to, as the name suggests, close the lid of your laptop without automatically entering Sleep Mode. On a laptop, look for settings marked 'Change what closing the lid does' in the control panel. 
You can turn off the monitor on a desktop, or close the lid on a laptop, and still let the download run.
You can tweak settings on your computer to stop it from automatically shutting down.
But, if you find yourself confronted by an enormous download, and want to try downloading it overnight, you can. As we said above, Steam can't download games when your computer is in Sleep Mode.
