Don't worry. Someone checked out your Homepage and the Netmechanic Spider checks robots.txt to determine if spidering is allowed. If you have a 'disallow' on your image files directory, Netmechanic will not spider this. The disadvantage is that you don't get correct downloadtimes returned from Netmechanic, as the images are not taken into account for the calculation.
