    I saw over a 100 meg in bandwidth disappear in the matter of hours from one specific ip address: 64.71.131.110

    Anyone else see this?

    Look at your logs and see what kind of activity originated from this address. Then you can take action - block them, report them, ignore them, etc.

    Image no.

    Just did like 10000 page requests in a short time.

    Just weird ya'no. That's why I asked if anyone saw this behavior, so we can compare notes.

    later,

    It's quite possible a bot got stuck in a loop. Not altogether uncommon, although not pleasant for your bandwidth.

    Is SE spider getting caught in a loop very common? Is there something we can do to help minimize the chance of it happening?
