The scraper bots also took down the SVN interface on tug.org a few
months ago, and adding Anubis fixed things. Norbert also had similar
problems on texlive.info, and Anubis fixed things there too. Without
Anubis, we were getting 1MM requests per day, but with it enabled, it
was down to 2k requests per day.

I don't actually like Anubis---I'm pretty unhappy that I had to add a
bunch of JavaScript to a website that would otherwise work with
Lynx---but it's (un)fortunately the only thing that seemed to work. The
full configuration that I'm using is available here

and feel free to email me off-list if you have any more questions.

Thanks,
