I went to a site that I visit every day to download an overnight radio show to my iPod and got this message:

Host '172.16.4.6' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

I searched but don't really understand what is wrong.  Is this a temporary error on the part of the website and will rectify itself?  Or is something amiss on my end that I need to correct?  Please help!

Nothing you can do.

The site's database server is not accepting connections from the computer with the above IP addy.  As that is a private-space IP address, more than likely it is a site problem where the database server doesn't want to talk with the web server anymore.

Maybe send an email to the contact person for the website... could try "webmaster@<web site name>".
