    Some crazy 204.246.129.196 is downloading my (static) html pages all day long, for two days. Have made 3 gigs of traffic.
    Any idea what is going on?
    Should I do something about it (I have 75 gigs monthly quota)?

    Thanks

    PS

    "479829 hits, 479815 files, 4 visits" - by him only! Other traffic as usual, 300 visitors daily.
    My ussual monthly bandwidth usage was under 1 giga.

    Can you see what user agent he is using? He might simply be using the feature of Internet Explorer to make your website available offline. Or it might be more sinister. If you really don't want him consuming your bandwidth or stealing your content, consider banning his IP as the previous poster suggested.

    Cryo.

    It shows only "Mozilla 4,0 compatible", no details and no refferer.

    I will give the gravediggers some more time to find him, and if they dont disconnect his PC, than ban.
