It seems like a small but legit search engine to me. The crawler seems very stupid and aggressive, which is what made me search and find this webpage in the first place. It seems legit, but not harmless and does not obey crawl-delay in robots.txt. I found a whole lot of pages by searching for xiando at http://www.yanga.co.uk/ so I will allow it on my servers for now.

And how exactly was this connected to the "Yanga WorldSearch Bot "? In my case they "only" downloaded tens of thousands of documents in quick succession. Luckily my server could cope and I stayed within my bandwidth allowance. Hello,

In my case they “only” downloaded tens of thousands of documents in quick succession. Luckily my server could cope and I stayed within my bandwidth allowance.
