    If you're talking about hits, then I get more than 10 000 hits from Yahoo daily and spiders eats around 10 GB of traffic per month.

    What I said earlier was spiders from different IPs at the same time, creating hundreds of never stopping connections.

    I run 3 different forums and noticed the last week a huge surge in yahoo bot traffic. I think in the past its done that before and then eventually dropped off. This is the largest Ive seen it though ever.

    yahoo has been doing this for many months actually, it's stupid because there are plenty of spiders and all, but I never get any actual visitors from yahoo. Why send that many spiders if my site is never going to be seen on yahoo, I get tons of traffic from Google and I hope that never changes.

    This is nothing new. Yahoo has always sent out Slurp in gangs.

    You are supposed to be able to limit Slurp activity by adding this to robots.txt:

    User-Agent: Slurp 
Crawl-Delay: 10
    Code (markup):
    but frankly I've never been convinced it really does much of anything to slow them down.

    Yahoo is going absolutely crazy. They are trying to improve their search results and income, so they can protect themselves from Micro$oft
