 I have been using Startpage for months.

 But since today, I started to see this error message several times:

 We have recently received a large number of searches coming from your
 computer or others on your local network in a very short time frame. In
 order to protect our service against automated "screen scraping" software
 programs, your access to Startpage's search has been paused for
 approximately one hour.

 If you were using Startpage normally, we apologize for the inconvenience
 and will be able to lift this pause if you phone us at (212) 447-1100
 (USA). Alternately, if you were operating a "screen scraping" program, you
 may phone us to work out an arrangement. You can also contact us at:
 autoquery @ startpage.com
