TI Freak Probe Posted: 4 May 2005 15:46 GMT Total Posts: Edit | Anyone know how to block bot crawlers??? I have a very annoying one that is downloading 4 of my files, and now just between the 4 files is up over 710 downloads. This normally wouldn't be a problem, though this throws the true count off, because a machine is downloading the programs, not people. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Does the star mean any and all bots?? Or do I have to specify the name??
