Hi RayWatson; thanks for posting :)

That's very interesting... so it looks like we might have a superscraper on our hands. What is the User Agent name of the visitor?

Mind me asking what kind of stuff they are looking at on your site?

The user agents I see coming from that IP are w3search and pim-sol. Can't seem to find any info on them. They seem to scrape just about everything on my site. around 35,000 page views per day, every day!
