Thread: bots not excluded from download counter? (Website design)

Hi, since about a week I observe unsually high download counts on my project (1). The download-link forwards to a server at TU-Darmstadt the log-files of which revealed that most archive-accesses come from search-engine bots. The bots look in about eight times a day. Before, the project had, and other smaller projects still have, a download count of 0-3 per day, from which I conclude that bots are usually filtered out. But apparently that filtering does not apply any more for this particular project. Any ideas?

The issue is gone: since about a week the counts are back to normal.
