Terminusnord uploaded this item to try to find the amount of bandwidth wasted by "bots" alias "spiders". I support him in this.
Useless sphere - do not download (Poser) For Non-Commercial Use Only Stand Alone Item Notes & Requirements By: terminusnord Aug 19, 2002 PC/Mac 18 downloads - - - - - -
The download count is at 9 am 20 Aug 2002 by UK time. - How much does Renderosity check who is downloading what to check if any of its users are spidering the freestuff? - As the freestuff is hosted on other sites, how much of this spidering is not via Renderosity but straight to the users' sites? The various web-search sites (Alta Vista, Googol, etc) must get their information from somewhere, about what text words occur in what web pages, and that would be spidering all of the internet that they can get at. Ditto people collecting email addresses for spamming.
