psbot - leave me alone

[alph]

Anyone else having trouble with the psbot? It sucks so much bandwidth and is ignoring by robots.txt file. Seems like if I put the disallow right away on a new site it will stay away. But if I add a disallow for psbot on a site it already has been hit it by psbot, it just won't go away. Arggg.

I cannot find a any good way to contact "them" to request removal.

you could try putting on your pages,
<META NAME="PSBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX">

if you look up psbot in Google you will find "the owners email address", if that does any good. Plus you find a website...
I found this here http://www.picsearch.com/bot.html

Experiencing Problems?
Although Psbot should not put any noticeable strain on a webserver we apologize for any inconvenience it may cause and would ask you to notify Picsearch about any problems at psbot@picsearch.com in order for us to rectify them as quickly as possible. Thank you
