SHOUTcast Metadata Puller won't stop trying to connect

someone has left a browser window open from the shoutcast.com site player and that's what is trying to get the tiles for the stream. there's little which can be done if someone has left a browser window open as they trigger the call to the metadata puller script and the only option we'd have is pulling the script but that then completely breaks title updates for the site player so that's not an option. other than banning the metadata puller connection, there's little that can be actively done (and just re-inforces my dis-like of the site player due to this sort of crap it causes people).
