Bravo! Froggyman,

Do you speak French as I do? :)

I do not know how did you get those datas but, frankly do you know what thoses German fellows were up to?

No, hablias frances:) As you can tell I failed French but do speak Spanish fluently.

It's definately a spider of some sort and I found a user agent:

BROWSER: oBot ((compatible;Win32))
REMOTE IP: 195.127.173.165

The spider keeps pretty busy but I can find anything useful on the web to link it to. From what I discovered from the logs I reviewed, it should obey the robots.txt file.

Maybe somewhat else has some info.

Thanks guys. I'm learning as I go as well. I think I have read about half the posts on this site so far.

You don't know how long I have been looking for a site like this. It's very much needed:)
