Might this be affecting our searches? The following query times out very quickly on Chrome, and runs forever in Firefox before crashing the whole browser (or is there a problem with my query?)

Hi! We looked at the logs. 21,740,641 requests are coming from a single IP

Looking into the actual queries revealed that it's probably a broken bot.
Stas said "the query makes no sense and is broken" and that it "looks like
somebody trying to download whole DB in very weird way but is doing it all
wrong."

We are investigating the issue.

Michail,

If by "in the 10 range", you mean an IPv4 address of the form 10.x.x.x, then it's an RFC1918 address, and more than likely coming from inside your own network.
