75.125.52.** (****.ev1servers.net)

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Gigamega.bot/1.0; +http://www.gigamega.net/bot.html)

No requests for robots.txt, requested excluded content, multiple requests/second and took a while to give up after being auto-banned.

Site is apparently registered by James Brown (Ooowww!) who should stick to da funk if you ask me ;)

It's also incompetent, requesting files with correct filenames but wrong paths.

Just stumbled across some nifty data on gigamega bot at Project Honey Pot [projecthoneypot.org].

If that's accurate, it's a bot harvesting email addresses. Sigh

1978 called: it wants it's email marketing strategy back...
