Default Grub Crawler

I opened a free account today and started crawling the web with looksmarts distributed crawler "grub". I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with their local crawl utility or inclusion into wisenut.com with these methods. I'va also read some posts that indicate that some webmasters consider the grub crawler a "virus" of sorts (w/ site bandwidth?) Any comments?

Waht are you intending to do with the results? If a spider spends hours on site just chewing up bandwidth for fun, then I will block it. If it is a visit permonth or so and the results are doing something useful, then the door is open!

Default Hi

Well the results are sent to them to help build www.wisenut.com and indirectly www.looksmart.com
By helping them crawl the web there is an option that you can crawl your own websites. (a little payment for my time.)
