Hi,
I don't really know if this is a Wget bug, or some problem with my
website, but, either way, maybe you can help.
I have a web site ( www.BuildItSolar.com ) with perhaps a few hundred
pages (260MB of storage total). Someone did a Wget on my site, and
managed to log 111,000 hits and 58,000 page views (using more than a GB
of bandwidth).
I am wondering how this can happen, since the number of page views is
about 200 times the number of pages on my site??
Is there something I can do to prevent this? Is there something about
the organization of my website that is causing Wget to get stuck in a loop?
I've never used Wget, but I am guessing that this guy really did not
want 50,000+ pages -- do you provide some way for the user to shut
itself down when it reaches some reasonable limit?
My website is non-commercial, and provides a lot of information that
people find useful in building renewable energy projects. It generates
zero income, and I can't really afford to have a lot of people come in
and burn up GBs of bandwidth to no useful end. Help!
