Just one example: I don't like paying for someone on a cable modem to try out his new download toy by starting a download of our site before he goes to bed, only to wakeup and find out it ran all night and still didn't finish. I'd rather rate-limit him to a page every 5-10 seconds, just like any respectable web crawler should do.
