Problems in querying bulk org whois

[DomainEmpire.com]

I'm having problems in querying bulk whois for dot org domains with any software I use, is anyone else experiencing similar difficulties recently ?
I got back at home from a short holiday only yesterday so I'm discovering it today, not sure if there're recent problems I ignore with org domains, let me know, thanks.

In few words, it seems I've been banned, I get "Unknown" for all domains after I query a maximum 4/5 names ...

The .org bans pretty fast. We're working on creating a bulk proxy checker and adding that feature to sTypo.

Great idea Luc, really useful, keep us posted about it

I posted this update from PIR somewhere here. This might be why:

http://www.pir.org/faqs/whois_limitation

Why is PIR limiting WHOIS Port 43 access for the general public?

PIR is committed to protecting the rights and privacy of registrants of .ORG domains. In an effort to reduce access by speculators and data miners of WHOIS Port 43, and based on consultation with ICANN and registrars, PIR will introduce rate limiting logic on the WHOIS Port 43 server on 20 August, 2005.

Somewhat "back from the dead", but while searching for a working bulk .org whois server (NOT a web based client, don't post those, they will be deleted) I actually came accross this thread. Has anyone found one that works?

Still no news from my part and I'm really unhappy to have no more way to query org whois in bulk
