Paul, thanks for the comments. This post you've found is a bit
outdated, but was recently found by a few folks today, which got your
attention. As noted in the headline, we knew that Searchme was behind
the activity, but it did display some odd traffic patterns.

Hi There! I am from Limelight Networks, and wanted to provide you with some info.

The traffic you are seeing is from one of our customers, Searchme.

Here is a link to their explanation, as well as some instructions on how to make it stop, if you so choose: http://www.searchme.com/sup...

There's also a thread here that provides some additional info: http://www.webmasterworld.c...

If you have questions, please feel free to email me. We are happy to help. -- Paul

Don't know if this might help, but I just installed "Flock" as a web browser since Netscape is now obsolete (by the way, Netscape users are getting a message to upgrade to Flock). While I was opening Flock for the first time and taking a look around I started getting constant connection alerts for llnw.net. In trying to do some research on who they were and why there were so many connections I came across your posting. Flock has feeds which might be the connections you are seeing on your server, and they might look like users because they are coming from client sessions. Just a guess. All I know is as a user I don't like the constant connections and bandwidth usage I'm experiencing! It also makes me very suspicious as to what it is doing!

I keep getting it too. . .I thought who is this and what are you doing on my blog. Then I thought hey, maybe I am special.

I still don't understand why on earth they would come to my blog though.

LOL

I think it is a site profiler, which is different than a spider. Profilers test for latency, MIME types, SEO, and other arcane stuff.

Following on... regarding Searchme.com, yes I realize they are behind WikiSeek, at http://www.wikiseek.com/. But I don't know that it's WikiSeek generating this oddness.
