Just noticed this little bad boy...

66.230.140.66 - - [06/Feb/2003:11:12:05 -0700] "GET /pages/cat1/cat2/Aaaaa/index.html HTTP/1.0" 200 12459 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 efp@gmx.net"
66.230.140.66 - - [06/Feb/2003:11:13:30 -0700] "GET /pages/cat1/cat2/Bbbbbb/index.html HTTP/1.0" 200 12385 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 efp@gmx.net"
66.230.140.66 - - [06/Feb/2003:11:14:57 -0700] "GET /pages/cat1/cat2/Ccccc/index.html HTTP/1.0" 200 18139 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 efp@gmx.net"

As you can see, it is jusr slowly going through the pages, one a minute or so. Based on the page sequence abouve, I am guessing that it is just going alphabetically from the page links from the page just above these pages /pages/cat1/cat2/index.html

Since this is an info site, it is probably mining data, I think.... or a trademark bot (I HATE those).

Any ideas?

It's been on the run for a few weeks already:

Anyone knows this bot: "Mozilla/4.0 efp@gmx.net"? [webmasterworld.com]

Wouldn'tcha know it.... I forget just once to search for a UA, and it is already on the board! Sorry!

OK, here is another I noticed this morning (I searched this one, no hits!)

193.1.132.14 - - [06/Feb/2003:02:56:39 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 5169 "-" "ADSAComponent (postmaster@cnds.ucd.ie)"
