You gotta admit, CRMNL or CRIM is a pretty droll UA name. Can't call it a linguistic oversight, since it would look exactly the same in French.

@Lucy24 was using the word "droll" supposed to be a pun? Drole (with an accent over the o) is French for funny or strange, it's where the English word is derived from.

Heh, that’s funny, I always assumed we stole it from German. Dictionary says it was originally MDu, of all things. (This is the second consecutive time I've looked something up and found it traced back to Middle Dutch--a language I never formally knew existed, though if you think about it, it obviously had to. Fancy that.)

So, it’s a criminal robot that, Nutch-like, reads robots.txt. Huh. And crawls from ordinary public Canadian ISPs?

You're obviously not from Pennsylvania.

It could be a renamed organic Nutch. A lot of them do that. Nutch is free, easy to use and returns clean results. I ran it for a while.
