When we restart indexer (runs 8 hours daily) it always reloads the robots.txt files from what appears to be every site when it first starts up... Then it starts loading the content that it needs to.... Perhaps this is what the other person was seeing?

This is how I run index: Before I run the indexer I look at the current stats: ./index -S Now I know what I'm dealing with before I start. Then I run the indexer: ./index -N 80 -R 64 When I want to stop the process I do (from another prompt of course): ./index -E Then I build the deltas: ./index -D I then do what ever and again check the stats: ./index -S I then compare my figures. Next I restart the process: ./index -N 80 -R 64 and things work as expected without restarting from the begining. One time it did start all over. In fact indexer was in a loop. The reason was that I had the "Period" in aspseek.conf incorrectly used. I mixed "M"inutes with "m"onth which instead of reindexing every month like I thought, I set it to reindex every minute which caused everything to loop. Other than that the indexing worked OK. Sure I have other problems as does most everyone else does I'm sure, but not the problem you are having. Regards, Karen
