tovero

It has one spidered a couple of pages thus far.
Is going very slowly and mannerly.
Possibly OK.

80.65.35.30 - - [14/Jun/2003:09:19:49 -0700] "GET /mypage/ HTTP/1.0" 200 15087 "-" "tovero bot (<a href=http://www.tovero.de/>tovero</a>)"

Just a heads up.

For me personally, I've no interest in RIPE.

Don,
The anchor element in the user agent string makes it look like a log file spammer but then requiring HTTP authentication for access makes no sense at all. Did it request robots.txt?

Please disable "graphic smile faces" in your message when you post a user agent string that includes a semicolon followed by a right parenthesis.

Thank you . . .

Warm,

No Robots.
No images.

It only spidered a few pages at very distant intervals.
In fact it was five hours between the 1st visit and the followup denial.

Thanks, Don. It appears that "tovero bot" is a horse of a different color. ;) I'll let it roam free since I have no horses on my web sites.

Just a follow up:

Be carefull with allowing this ip / bot! It's right now hammering my forum very hard - ignoring robots.txt - i blocked the ip. The ip also resolves back to a adult host! Could be a vhost using the same ip. Watch out, i'd say!

HI,

Tovero is a specialized search engine in german language for all topics concerning "Horses" and "Horse Riding", normaly they only spider pages where keywords to the above are found.

The website is called: "Die pferdige Suchmaschine"
(or "horse topics search engine").

regards,
