Every now and then I'll find (at Bomis) some jerk who wrote a homemade bot that's hammering us.

It doesn't have to be homemade though. If I didn't have a fast always-on and flat-rate internet connection, the first thing I would do upon coming across Wikipedia would be to whip out wget and download the baby, so that I can browse offline. I can't be the only one.
