I can’t for the life of my fathom why bloglines would need to consume 1.16GB of bandwidth during a single month! Looking at this a little bit further, i’m going to out the worst of those bandwidth consumers.

  1. 1.16GB: Bloglines Crawler.
  2. 534MB: Something under Optimum Online (ool-435525cb.dyn.optonline.net). Seems to be an service provider.
  3. 414MB: Omni Explorer (Could be a spambot, see the Spamhuntress entry for Omni Explorer).
  4. 255MB: Gemstar TVGuide Inc.

I have a very small readership, hardly worth agressive crawling, so I can’t imagine what kind of attention popular bloggers are getting from these guys!
