Who does it belong to?

[Harry]

This user/robot is driving my stats up the charts ridiculously. I think it may be a MSN bot, but I have no proofs and I'm not equipped or trained to check such things.

This IP is almost making more advances than Google's and Inktomi's bots. If it's a human being, this person really has nothing to do better with their time. How can someone possibly visit my site more than me?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks. I checked another set of stats and MSN has consumed 1.45 gig of bandwidth this month. This is abusive as no other robot or even user consume even half of what they did. I'm gonna block this sucker.

So MSN bot is getting spider trapped it seems...

Be wary of blocking it, tMSN are going to rock the SE world in a few months for better or worse, so if it is loving your site it may be worth finding out what you can about it's behaviour.
