become.com eating my bandwidth

[JesterMagic]

I posted this in search engines but was wondering if anyone here has had become.com tear through there site?

I was looking at AWSTATS for my amazon site and it showed me that this host
64.124.85.79.become.com

has downloaded 33470 pages from my site and chewed up over 1 gig in bandwidth in the last few days. Is this site worth it or should I block em?
AWSTATS did not recognize them as a search engine since there was no hit on robots.txt.

I have had the same problem for the last 4 days. The bot has downloaded143485 times in the past 4 days. Has almost doubled my bandwidth usage. I am wondering the samething myself.

www.stripdir.com is killing my bandwidth. Seems to be a site where the user can download all the images from your pages and browse them, sans ads or whatever. Wonderful.

Well, bandwisth is not an issue with me. I get a monthly allowance of around 800gigs.

Does anyone find it worth it to allow this robot?
