I noticed that one of the sqlite contrib files had 1500 downloads in a single 
day this past week, which is around 100X normal. I'm guessing it was a robot.

I see that Google and many other websites' robots.txt prefer this form:

  Disallow: /contrib/download/

over this form:

  Disallow: /contrib/download

for directories.

Is the trailing slash required to disallow directories for (some) robots?

Also, what does the trailing question mark mean in robots.txt?

  Disallow: /foo/bar?

Is it a wildcard or does it literally mean the '?' character?
