Seems pretty clear to me.. a 404, page not found. Looks like the socket timed out, or they blocked you for hitting them too many times at once. I know Yahoo does this for several of their websites to thwart the people who slam them with spiders and crawlers too fast (I think it's a 6-hour block, but I haven't personally tested it yet). It started with their newsgroup pages, and has extended further into their main pages now. Just delay how fast you spider into them, and you should be fine. Also, try using http://www.yahoo.com instead of http://yahoo.com. d. _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
