Hi folks:
Thought you might like to have a look out for a robot from Fast
Search & Transfer at IP address 69.25.71.12 (though it looks like they
have the 69.25.71.0 - 69.25.71.255 range).
These folks win the award for the most insidious robot. Not only do
they not respect robots.txt, they don't provide a bot name, and for that
matter, they seem to get stuck in things like calendars. Previously it
was a toss up between MSN and some other spidering from China that were
the worst offenders, but these folks take the cake by at least an order
of magnitude. They seem to like consuming our bandwidth, so if the
rule we just added doesn't deflect them, then we will block them at the
firewalls.
Joe
