Newto gallery submitting but WTF are these guys doing?
 

So we just recently started submitting galleries. We use a separate high bandwidth server that we have tweaked with squid to handle static content. I have a little script I wrote that I keep running and monitor hits real time to get an idea of who is listing us and what URLS etc. My goal was to learn more about when we get listed where and watching traffic patterns real time.

So I noticed a certain site/IP keeps hitting us, so I ran the following command on just today's traffic

cat /var/log/squid/access.log | grep 76.9.31.34 | awk '{print $1 " - "$7 " - "$11}' >> /var/www/html/domains/jaysbabes.com/wtf.txt
http://www1.jaysbabes.com/wtf.txt

Is this normal? What is going on here? Are they just making sure I don't have dead links?

lolololololol

umm... not sure about that dude

I am not really sure if it is the case here but some TGP/MGP scripts keep checking the galleries and you aren't allowed to change them after the submission to prevent redirection or change into banner farms etc.

Bump for you.

Thanks for the bump, here is another one

Got me curious... bump for you!

Any ideas?

looks like someone is using a program to download everything on your domain

Maybe some hitbot that runs crazy on your galleries, or a bot that just crawls all your galleries to leech content, or a SE-Bot, etc. I wouldn't care too much about it....
