Is anyone else having lock up problems here caused by a bad script running? I have no problems with the other sites I regulairly visit, except one. Folks I've talked to tell me that the CHINESE spider that comes to this site daily DOES cause site problems whereever it goes. Also all the other FOREIGN sites that come here may be part of the problem.
I haven't seen a problem. But if there is a need to stop the spiders, a simple robots.txt file in the main directory of the webserver would stop any spiders that adhere to the rule.
