coyote,
I was seeing 8 from a RIPE address early in the year.
They weren't grabbing a whole lot so I left them alone.

Hard to believe eh?

Didn't look at the link site however the name doesn't sit well with me.

I've joined a couple affiliate programs through linkshare.com.
I wonder exactly what their bot was doing looping 20+ times on my main page sucking up bandwidth....
