How it works

The primary package repository is a directory on my computer and its contents is not directly accessible from the Internet. From time to time (say once a week) I "release" the package directory by uploading its contents to the CTAN directory systems/win32/miktex, which is actually mirrored.

The MiKTeX web service is used by the MiKTeX package manager to retrieve the list of valid package repositories.
In order to reduce resource usage on the server, the web service stalls (and possibly rejects) excessive requests arriving from the same IP address.
