Hi people,

I noticed it in my logfiles a lot today. Seemed to be requesting the same page over and over again.

Does anyone know what this is?

Hope I understood correctly:

wget is a program for downloading files. (ie. wget http://dom.com/file.tar.gz will download file.tar.gz to your server)

It's a nifty program, replaces lynx when downloading file you know the location to...

So someone is downloading a couple of my webpages over and over? I wonder why?

It was the homepage for 2 of my sites.

That does sound rather odd, that someone would keep downloading your main pages.. have you traced the IP? if it seems to be a security issue, Id reccomend adding the IP to IPChains as a bad guy.. Mouse
