I mentioned in a post 2 days ago that alexa is crawling me like crazy. Till that day the bandwidth usage of my site was about 26MB for june. Today it has shot upto 1054MB straight! My monthly statistics have neer gone beyond 150MB. My total website size would be around 15MB .. Can anyone tell if alexa has caused this?

Oh and My logs show hits for my internal pages (about 170 - size 80kb each) :

Host: 64.68.82.** : Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)

intikomi slurp, ia_archiever and 2 or 3 other bots

Is this the new IP of deepbot and could these be the problem?

Look in your access logs, and if you want to stop it add the following lines to your robots.txt file

User-agent: ia_archiver
Disallow: /
