From their site : "Search17 is a web crawler for a new semantic search engine."

Claiming that the last number in their crawl range is nn.31.166.253 then why am I seeing 254 ?

All in all not a good first impression S17.

I put a space in the URL to break it

You blanked off the wrong end of the IP. :(

I know but I wanted to show that they come with at least one more number than they claim. ;)
The full number is on their bot page.

The Class A is 96

Thanks. :)

Turns out I've had them blocked for some time - 96.31.160.0 - 96.31.175.255
