 Post subject: Twiceler - thousands of hits

Has this robot been eating your bandwidth lately? It has hit one of my sites 5000 times in just a few days. I was wondering if others have added it to their Security Module for flood control.

My best advice is to ban it totally from your site - it consumes bandwidth with thousands of erroneous links and fills your error logs, hammering your apache server as well, all for nothing meaningful. It is an uncontrolled rogue bot.
Topic moved to 'Search Engines' forum - I apply that term very loosely to this pest.

I had the same problem. I've tried to block with a .htaccess file and dragonfly security system... but nothing hapenned.
So, I write an email to crawler @ cuill.com and stopped it in two hours aproximately.
When I write the email, the list of the crawling ip's wasn't on the site. I think that the admin of the bot is doing a good job letting us the ip's.
