Browsing habits
From my TXP visitor logs, I see behaviour that’s strange to me. I wondered if other people have radically different browsing habits.
1 Often the same page is accessed 10 times in a row by the same IP all in a few seconds. Why?
2 Sometimes the same page is accessed a lot by different IPs and then it looks like they tried to leave a comment but didn’t succeed. I am guessing these are hackers trying to comment spam?
3 Many many cases of the whole site being accessed in a few seconds. Many are robots but I wondered – do any of you use tools to download a whole website and view it offline?

Re: Browsing habits
1 and 3: there are any number of bots, spiders and scripts around. Some are search engines, some are spammers, and some are experiements.
2: yes. usually scripts.
