Retrieving the file at http://67.media.tumblr.com/ac8bf40312b6e14aa99111f1ccd164c6/tumblr_o7k6imiRpu1uox9ngo1_1280.jpg takes forever for some reason.
When getting it from my browser (on a different machine), it works instantly.
A wget from a different machine works instantly.
A wget from the same machine takes forever.

I guess I've been banned or something.

Close for the time being as everything seems fine but I have no explanation.

Error reported to https://www.tumblr.com/support

I use a script to retrieve images from Tumblr blogs using the Tumblr V1 API. Sometimes, the retrieval of a particular image from its URL just hangs and never ends. I saw this issue during May and beginning of July, I had the issue that everything was working just fine but ~2 weeks ago, things started to fail again. The images involves are always the same : it is fails once, it will always fail. The issue is limited to a machine and does not seem to depend of the data in the HTTP request. I am expecting some kind of blacklist of some sort but I do not have much information about this and if it is a bug, I'd like you to know about it.

For instance, the following image: http://67.media.tumblr.com/d9dea3f90dfe35948a27fde23345cf70/tumblr_nm9512sxxB1tcbp8vo9_1280.jpg cannot be retrieved as one can see running the following command: "wget http://67.media.tumblr.com/d9dea3f90dfe35948a27fde23345cf70/tumblr_nm9512sxxB1tcbp8vo9_1280.jpg"

It runs forever from the machine with the error but works fine on a different machine behind a different IP.

Please let me know if there is anything I am not doing properly and I'll be happy to comply.

Thanks.

This issue seems to be fixed on the Tumblr side now. I'll see if all comics can be reactivated :)

The issue is fixed by Tumblr.
