    awstats shows 650Mb of partial content requested, I don't know what to make of it as I haven't encountered this problem before but gut feelings tell me that this is not right.It seems to only come from 70.248.28.XXX. The last 3 numbers are sometimes different. This ip range has taken 6Gb (89%) of bandwidth this month. Any advice what to do?

    do the ip addresses resolve to a bot? If not, ban that IP address and see if your traffic goes down...

    Looks like a standard user from what I can tell...looks like the St. Louis branch of SBC...I would guess that it is some home user trying to create a bot that does search engine indexing...anyone else have an idea?
