First entry from this bot was on 10.01.04 (domain was registered since 5 days...) in my Logs, and on the next day it crawled all used Images (around 70) of the Domain.
Example:
66.77.73.186 - - [11/Jan/2004:00:52:31 +0100] "GET /gfx/osterente.jpg HTTP/1.0" 200 4502 "-" "Yahoo-MMCrawler/3.x (mm dash crawler a
t trd dot overture dot com)"

So this one is a Picture Bot?

Well OK, but look at that page without Google-Cache, and you'll see the same time with a different Content... ;)

I got hit by this crawler today, this seems to be the only thread it has previously been discussed in so I thought I'd revive it rather than start a new thread.

"Yahoo-MMCrawler/3.x (mms dash mmcrawler dash support at yahoo dash inc dot com)"

showing up in my stats over the past month. Anyone found any articles relating to this spider?
