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? tom
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. J.D.
Having the ip adderss I blocked them. the hits were so fast i think it was some kinda program, like a spider. thx, tom

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, tom
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?
