Well, I have a patched version of DSpace (a document archive web application) that shows the download count for each individual document on the document's detail page, and download totals for each community and collection. I want to make those as accurate as possible, where "accurate" means "not including spider accesses". So yes, I want to do something like AWstats is doing to segregate access statistics, but AWstats is not the answer. And I'd like to discuss, somewhere, ways to make it easier to identify *new* spiders *before* they pollute my stat.s. -- Mark H.
