By the way, when the Selenium-Server stuff started showing up, before it was blocked, it was grabbing css files. Home page, css files and the favicon.ico.

If that is all it( they ) took each time ?
Sounds to me like someone running a bot ( from various places ) to get an image of your home page to put on a whois or some such..

France has some big server farms run by OVH, and 1&1 and others..the country spread you report matches 1&1 in Europe..

<OT>btw ..you think postage to Europe is bad :) try it the other way..costs me 3 or 4 times more, to send a a given weight package to you in to the USA via UPS / DLH/ parcel post, than it does for you to send it to me ...ouch!</OT>
