So within the last little bit I have been getting hit hard by certain IP's loading thousands of my pages/jpgs/pdfs all within seconds of each other. Heres a little excerpt from my latest visitors below.
At first I thought they were bots, but when i do a whois search its not like its a normal IP from someones computer. How can I block mass loadings of my files? Can it be done via nuke sentinal?

You can block them using Nuke Sentinel's block IP function or you can add them yourself to your htaccess and block them. But you might want to discuss this with your hosting service and see if they have a way to block these attacks at an earlier stage. You or your host might want to research who owns 65.94.56.174 (is this www.trott.ca?) and see what you can do to intervene with them to get the attacks stopped. No matter how early in the process your host blocks things like this they are still creating traffic and overhead just to deal with them. Better to go to the source if at all possible. |

The ip is assigned to Bell Canada (ISP).
Contact their abuse: abuse@sympatico.ca
Here is the domain information: http://whois.domaintools.com/65.94.56.175
I would also contact your hosting provider or block it in the .htaccess as mentioned by fkelly. |

I can use the Block IP Address in cpanel as well? I have multiple domains hooked up so editing many .htaccess's might be a pain.
Nuke sentinal doesnt offer any of these early spam detections? |

Don't really think it's "spam" per say... I just downloaded the first .pdf in the code you gave above which tells me it's finding "legit" files on your server and grabbing them. For what purpose... I can't answer.
Web scraping/indexing maybe? |

It doesn't look like a hacking attempt. It really looks like a search engine. Is it affecting your response time? |

Yes very highly, I thought it was bots at first too. |

I'm not sure I'm seeing anything strange about those logs... most of those files would be requested when loading a page under normal conditions (including your customizations)

are you sure this is the cause of your issue? Most of your pages loaded pretty fast for me with the exception of your home page; that has a couple MB of images on it. That could potentially put a strain on your server... I would optimize those images with an image editor and see if that helps. For instance this 18kb instead of 226 KB.
(Usually not a good idea to rescale images with the browser, better to edit to the intended size. Your images are 700px and set to max-width 455px)
It could also be many other causes...
Take note of when and where any performance lag is happening. If it only happens during peak hours of the day, your host may have over-sold your server. |
