We turned off your access to the archive.

You downloaded a lot of files recently. A high rate of download taxes our servers and makes it difficult to provide everyone with good service. It’s also faster than a human can read, which means you’re using some kind of automated download tool. As our privacy policy states:

We do keep our eye on the number of sessions you’re using at once, and the number of PDFs/GIF images you are downloading, in order to keep people from abusing our system or giving away their account information. This means that if you and all the other monks in the monastery want to read Harper’s online using one account, we’ll be forced to cut you off.

If you’d like us to turn your account back on, please email [email protected] and let us know that you understand this aspect of using the website. We’ll be able to turn it back on next month.

Best wishes,
Harper’s Magazine
