Hi!

I’ve just installed Discourse on a new server and now I’m trying to upload a backup with about 400MB.  
It stucks at 40% with the following error:  
`Slow down, too many requests from this IP address. Please retry again in 2 seconds. Error code: ip_10_secs_limit.`

What is this and how can I solve it?
