    As you see, its getting worse and worse, this month already 47% of the total usage comming from:
    65.55.3.194 (37GB !!)

    I found that this is an msn bot, so last sunday i added this to my robots.txt:

    Code:
    User-agent: msnbot
    Crawl-delay: 1
    But no differce and still goiing higher...
    This is quiet big usage for a bot no?

    Please some urgent advice....

    You can ban the IP from control panel, or using an htaccess file, if it takes too much resources.

        because of vbseo you need to change some rules in robots txt:

        Disallow: /attachment.php
        to
        Disallow: /attachments/
        etc.
        Can somebody verify if this correct? i don't see any referal on vbseo forums on this...
