There's a thing in the world called reasonable use. If you scrape a whole bunch of repository in a short time, this will put a heavy load on server not meant to be used this way. This is why your address is being blocked and will continue to do so. As already written by other people too, there's no such authority that could change this for you. So you'll have to find a way to lower the resources used for your actions. One way to do so is put a delay in between the requests, like already suggested. I'd give you a hint of using the debmirror software (or aptly / apt-mirror) as this is meant to create a local copy of the Debian packages repository, you can add options for getting source code too. Maybe you shall learn how to copy a public key using scp and entering a password. (because you keep the private one on your own computer, but you seem to do it the other way around). Don't confuse between Ubuntu itself and the interface offered by Digital Ocean, two different thing. They only offer a control panel, accessible from the web without any link to Ubuntu (or Debian or whatever). If you don't believe what I say, then install a Ubuntu box on your local network and copy a key directly to it. And be assured, it will work using scp. First time you'll need to enter the password and after the key is added to authorized_keys then it will be okay. Not please, save us from those delusion style affirmation such as > server on Digital Ocean, for example, using Ubuntu 18.04. Unless they > are just picking on me in particular, you will find some changes in You are far from being so much of importance, please get back to earth if you want some help. And use the proper words for what you mean. If I say, I want to write a new kernel based on Debian then it means I want to replace the "Linux kernel". There's no other kernel, unless you talk about the FreeBSD based version of Debian or the Mach version of Debian, both who use a different Kernel than the Linux one. The basis for communication is a common language or the desire to use a recognized and standard protocol for communication. If I use word because they seem great but are out of their meaning, then it's pointless to communicate. Hope you get this one now.
