Kunsheng, Please don't get me wrong, I'm trying to be helpful.
I look at your site, and I don't see anything about the research goals. Nothing about the possible benefits of this research. From your site, it doesn't even tell me that you just want the URIs. Mostly, it doesn't tell me why I'd want to help. As far as damage: if 10,000 Anansi users decided to hit my servers all at once, how would that differ from a botnet attacking my server? ... and none of the information below is on your site. -- Lynn Kunsheng Chen wrote: > Hi everyone, > > > Sorry for the confusion in project description. > > > Anansi is a distributed web crawler only for research purposes, with a good > manner in complying with rules in "robots.txt" defined by each URI host it > meets. > > > The goal of such a project is to explore as many as URIs that could be > directly reached by the public.
