Yeah, I saw that.  The IP resolved to petal.amgreetings.com.  I'm not
sure why a greeting card company is using Maven but a donation would
be nice if that person is reading this.

Fair enough, it's not a big deal to spoof my user-agent.

I disabled wget because people were trying to sync the entire
repository using wget. Some asshole sucked out 7GB and I'm paying for
the bandwidth right now. We need to figure out how to stop crawling
and then I would turn it back on. I turned it off because at the rate
of yesterday's consumption I could not afford the bandwidth.
