Apparently this custom crawl rate is only available for root level sites - not sites not hosted on a large domain like Blogspot. Google says they assign special settings in that type of case.

i am not on blogspot and it won't allow me to change the crawl rate. The message I get is your site has been assigned special crawl rate settings. Perhaps this is due to the fact that my site is relatively new

I put my crawl rate at 200% more than the default. I saw that it goes up to 900%.

Pretty cool how it is dynamic. One of my sites has a peak of 10 pages per second, whereas another has a peak of 0.5 pages per second.

Has anyone noticed how long it takes for the change to take effect? I increased one of my sites but I do not see a change in the Google Bot spider rate on site.

I can answer my own question now, it appears to take about 2 hours. This is a great feature. What would make it even better would be if Google would allow throttling by time of day. I would love to throttle up to the max rate on the over night hours and bring it back to normal during the day. That would be great.

I dont understand the value in this... "However, setting it to higher value than the default won't improve your coverage"

Set it to 900% and the yo-yo effect will probably go wild :)
