Hi,

The last few days I have MUCH datatraffic because of TwengaBot.
At least 1 gigabyte a day at the moment!

TwengaBot searches the web to identify online shops, and then collects all product information in order to display it, free of charge, on Twenga.

Can somebody tell me how I can stop this? Adjust some script maybe?
