Got a warning for my blog going over 100GB in bandwidth this month... which sounded incredibly unusual. My blog is text and a couple images and I haven't posted anything to it in ages... like how would that even be possible?
Turns out it's possible when you have crawlers going apeshit on your server. Am I even reading this right? 12,181 with 181 zeros at the end for 'Unknown robot'? This is actually bonkers.
Edit: As Thunraz points out below, there's a footnote that reads "Numbers after + are successful hits on 'robots.txt' files" and not scientific notation.
Edit 2: After doing more digging, the culprit is a post where I shared a few wallpapers for download. The bots have been downloading these wallpapers over and over, using 100GB of bandwidth usage in the first 12 days of November. That's when my account was suspended for exceeding bandwidth (it's an artificial limit I put on there awhile back and forgot about...) that's also why the 'last visit' for all the bots is November 12th.
It's 12181 hits and the number behind the plus sign are robots.txt hits. See the footnote at the bottom of your screenshot.
Phew, so I'm a dumbass and not reading it right. I wonder how they've managed to use 3MB per visit?
The robots are a problem, but luckily we're not into the hepamegaquintogilarillions... Yet.
12,000 visits, with 181 of those to the robots.txt file makes way, way more sense. The 'Not viewed traffic' adds up to 136,957 too - so I should have figured it out sooner.
I couldn't wrap my head around how large the number was and how many visits that would actually entail to reach that number in 25 days. Turns out that would be roughly 5.64 quinquinquagintillion visits per nanosecond. Call it a hunch, but I suspect my server might not handle that.
