Hello! I tried to download track info using abcde for a disc I ripped, but it timed out. After spending way too long assuming that abcde was the problem and trying to reimplement what I was doing using the Python bindings directly, I noticed that, while I can open e.g. https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/discid/aaaaaaaaaaa... in a browser or

load it via curl quite quickly, urllib takes _minutes_ to load the same URI. Is there some sort of draconian rate throttling going on?

Hmm, it seems something's wrong with Python's ability to make HTTP requests. I'm having the same issue with e.g. https://google.com. 🤷

Curious, but apparently not MB's fault.

Interesting that you don’t see this as a high impact change outsidecontext? Standardising the artist name seems huge

Oooh variables for series!! Too cool
