66.1.61.27 ip just looked at 30k of my pages

[joshuaip]

I was wondering if anyone knows who this belongs to. It just ate a gig of bandwidth today and I was wondering if it was a spider or if i should ban it.

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Probably used teleport pro or related tool to copy every file on your site...

Search for the "spider trap" and "A Close to perfect .htaccess ban list" threads on this site to try to stop them automatically and much sooner in their tracks.

"spider trap" not familiar with that coined phrase.

Can anyone elaborate on it, I can make an educated guess, but like to hear it from the horses mouth =]

BTW am quite familiar with .htaccess file, but its a Unix solution really, whats the substitute if your site is on a Windows based webserver running IIS?

Many thx
