Hi. I've downloaded the code and will take a closer look when I get a chance. However, I've also removed the attachment, and here's why.

>> NOT ALL the fantastic features that make phpdig what it is are implemented (no excludes, no robots.txt, no levels no this, no that)... is very far to be a good program!

Users who run PhpDig on their own sites would likely account for personal preference and take care not to exceed their bandwidth allotment or server resources. Care should also be taken not to disregard someone else's preference or adversely affect someone else's machine or pocketbook.

Also, the attachment since removed may get PhpDig placed on bad bot lists, especially because the user agent in the since removed code lists the PhpDig.net robot information page which says PhpDig should obey a robots.txt file.

This isn't a personal slam or anything like that. It's just a note to let PhpDig users know that, in order to keep PhpDig a benevolent and viable open source project, PhpDig and modifications thereto need to be as "Net Friendly" as they can be.
