Upgrade StorageZotero and excessive download
Some jurnal/database did not allow to do excessive download.
'Systematic' or 'excessive' downloading is defined as a deliberate attempt to copy or distribute a whole or significant part of an electronic resource using 'robots' or any such software, or any manual means designed for wholesale infringement, which results in a vendor licence violation on the part of the University and/or its Library (http://www.lib.cuhk.edu.hk/Common/Reader/News/ShowNews.jsp?Nid=4353&Pid=18&Version=0&Cid=125)
My question is: is zotero one of the excessive download software?

Depending on how a database is set up, you may be able to use Zotero to facilitate behavior that violates vendor licenses, but since normally it's not possible to download more than 25-50 items at once, that would still require significant manual labor to download the whole or a significant part of any database and, more importantly, you'd know that you're doing this, so it would be you, not Zotero, infringing on the license.
May I ask what exactly your concern is? Have you had any problems?
Thanks Adam
But no this isn't a Zotero issue -
(the problem that did occur at Seneca was almost certainly this: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/28505/zotero-doing-a-duplicate-http-request-2090368446/ and only made excessive requests to the proxy, never to the database)
