    I'm reviving this thread, cause I just got hit by them, over 7000 page views yesterday, on a site that would normally get about 3,000 per day from all visitors.

    The link above seems to indicate they are bad, but I can't really understand what they are trying to do.

    I forgot about this thread. but if you got some bandwidth to use, set up a spider, people will talk about you in fora, you get some backlinks ...

    Just analyzed my logs, I have a dynamic PHP directory, and their bot is working through every single part of it. That could go on for weeks.

    65.19.150.218 -- OmniExplorer_Bot/3.28

    I've never had to block an ip address - is this right?

    <Limit GET POST>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
    </Limit>

    <Limit GET HEAD POST>
    order allow,deny
    deny from 65.19.150.218
    allow from all
    </LIMIT>
