Bad MSNbot

Still perusing my HTTP logs. It's incredible what one can find in more than a year's worth of HTTP logs. This one, I find less amusing. For the month of August 2005 _only_:

MSNbot hits my server way more than google, and in doing so uses way more of my bandwidth. Not that my server can't handle this or anything, but it's still quite a lot, in comparison. I can only guess what that would mean to a site with way more content than mine.

I'm seriously considering blocking MSNbot.
