 Every once in a while I glance at my server stats - it is fun to see how many referrals I've gotten, page views, stuff like that. So today so far I have received 7,726 page views, about three times as many as normal. Or should I say page hits, because nearly all of them are 404s - page not found. Looking at my logs, I see someone from an ISP in Italy (host116-35-dynamic.2-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) and another someone from an ISP in Belgium (189-79-73-228.dsl.telesp.net.br) are whacking away at my server, requesting page after page with invalid URLs.
Nice work, idiots. If you're going to scrape a site, can you please test your script first before turning it loose?
