Urchin & Robots

[b0rdslide]

Hi, I've noticed that Urchin 5 doesn't have a particularly great robot detection/database system. Is there any way to update it manually?

AWStats detection seems great, but I really need to see more fine-grained activity over time details.

Thanks,
Kev

I set up a filter so I get a report that only has user-agents I know are browsers (IE, Mozilla, Opera, etc). Then I did a report of everything that didn't meet that filter.

This isn't the greatest technique, because things that say they're Mozilla Compatible or simply lie don't get done right, but it helps.
