WebGather 3.0 re-emerges...

...but from a different IP Number.

[pendanticist]

Back in September, 2001 volatilegx started a thread entitled: WebGather 3.0
61.139.65.222 [webmasterworld.com] but nothing solid came of it.

My visitor (overnight) was from 144.214.122.56. However, the pathways requested were all lower case and as such served up all 404s.

Those 404s accounted 74 files requested due to the case being lower. It requested those 74 files in less than one (1) second. There are an additional one hundred (100) files left for it to request.

Perhaps it throttled (choked, if you will) itself on all the 404s.

Oh, the posted link in that thread no longer works ('The page cannot be displayed'), so I suspect the original Search Engine(?) went by the wayside and someone else has put WebGather 3.0 back on the Internet.

Requesting different pages. All lowercase too, however that is the correct way in our case. The 404 is not due to that, outdated URL.

I saw the same thing a couple of days this month. The IP traces back to City Polytechnic of Hong Kong. Kids.
