After just 100 DLs. Does anyone know whether I really have to write a mail or will the block get lifted after x hours?

They gave you access to read... not to download and read later. So no shock you got blocked.

IMHO as a life-long ACM member... library access should be permanently free. But that's clearly not what they have chosen to do.

Hell, I used to get blocked just for opening 8 papers in new tabs. Getting blocked after a 100 paper bender is pretty good luck!

Cough VPN. Blocked again? New VPN location, and so forth.

I've been unblocked in the meantime - guess I'll use the VPN option later.
