Pamac is causing an excessive amount of requests to aur.archlinux.org

Hi.

Today we had an incident where aur.archlinux.org went down for a couple of hours. In investing the issue, we found out that Pamac user agent was responsible for making a very large number of requests to the AUR that caused it to stop responding to new requests.

We have completely blocked the Pamac user agent, to restore service for the users. It seems there's an issue with the latest pamac version that's causing this number of requests.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
