I very much dislike to see someone using those applications on my site.
Downloading over a hundred pages and all that comes with them in a short
time, for what? I'm sure the one who does that is not going to read all
the stuff that just got downloaded, which means it is just a waste of
bandwidth.
If I spot the same IP doing that more than once (yup, there are those
people) or if I notice that it is a commercial enterprise that does that,
the IP gets banned. I wish there was a way to block these grabbers
altogether.
