        Hey RC,

        Nice to see you. How's life?

        Some idiot spidering the site and pulling pages at such a rate it keeled over. Blocked their IP now so should be fine again now. Have sent them a nice email

            Your spider is a well controlled beast. This one was pulling hundreds of pages per minute, 10 seconds tailing the logs was enough to see what was causing the problem. Was a company as opposed to a bedroom hero for once as well. Not impressed.

                  I'd recommend adding to robots.txt this line:

                  Crawl-Delay: 10

                  This way compatible bots would make 10 second delay between requests, very handy just in case...
