The linked document states that :
Robots.txt files with a rule that refers specifically to the��NLNZ_IAHarvester2013��user agent will be strictly obeyed.

Which would seem to be a much better way to handle this than an IP block...

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me where this harvest is being done from this year and what IP range to block so it doesn't troll though my machines?
