I was casually reviewing my web logs today when I had to take a double take at my bandwidth usage. I normally get 100-200 MB of bandwidth used from approx 10-15 people who go to both of my XOOPS sites. One is for family, one is for some of the members in co-operative housing association. My bandwidth usage had spiked to over 2,500 MB. Something was wrong. I found the following info:

Top two pages:

14551 hits, 721892 KB, for /forum/modules/piCal/
13824 hits, 652954 KB, for /forum/modules/piCal/print.php

pretty crazy for a calendar with only 15 entries!


Top IP addresses:

12919 hits, 12896 files, 595040 KB, 46 visits from 66.249.66.66

9141 hits, 9131 files, 520028 KB, 5 visits from 66.249.66.196


Other high bandwith IPs include:
24.84.184.143
66.249.65.83
66.249.65.230


I did a search for the top IP and found:

OrgName: Google Inc.
OrgID: GOGL
Address: 2400 E. Bayshore Parkway
City: Mountain View
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 94043
Country: US

NetRange: 66.249.64.0 - 66.249.95.255


I've temporarily disabled PiCal but I guess I need to somehow get the bots to not crawl PiCal.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should do?

If it helps, here are the two sites I am running, the juniper site is the one that got hammered:
