 Performing the Update the GeoLite2 Country database resulted in the mdb file containing..

<html>
<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
<center>Rate limited exceeded, please try again in 24 hours.</center>
</body>
</html>

As a result the front & backends of my site were unusable.
I re-uploaded the mmdb file from the plugin and everything is working again.

Just thought I'd log this in case others have similar issues.

Hello Mark,

thank you very much. Doing a quick search on Internet I found that this is an issue thrown by the MaxMind server, since sometimes they run out of resources.
We'll add a workaround in order to prevent displaying such messages.

Thank you very much for reporting this.
