Buh bye limewire
Friday, December 12th, 2008No, not the filesharing service. I haven’t used THAT in a dog’s age. Ok, well it is that, but different…
For months now I’ve been getting these weird site hits to old MovableType URLs (from back in the day.) Something’s clearly been trying to snake the site using an old list of pretty exhaustive links and an algorithm that’s really impressively bad.
I’ll give them credit for being “polite” as far as their bandwidth utilization. There seems to be about one full page load (images, etc) every couple/few hours.
Those all get redirected to my front page (as do some very confused google searchers) so they’re always getting the exact same content.
It’s polluting my already anemic blog hits with craptastic data, so today I finally decided to go block the ip address and, while I was there, go dig around and figure out what it was. Turns out it’s from a server in Tulsa owned/operated by Limewire.
The IP is 208.111.154.249
