Is this a bot? Should I be blocking this somewhere?

Enter ? for additional hints on searching ARIN's WHOIS database.

I've got 16 instances of this puppy logged in as Anonymous with a range from:
64.71.144.11 to 64.71.144.67 right now.

Should I be adding something to my block list or should I be letting it run? I can't imagine what it is looking at.

Also, is there a who-is-where module that ever looks at what page Anonymous users are on?

Thanks

You could use the IP Tracking module to track where they have been, and it also states if they are online

Not too sure if anybody found this, but Jeteye is basically a web bot that indexes pages similar to Google or the IntomiSearch.com bots. I found this on their website:

"How do I request that JetBot not crawl parts or all of my site?
JetBot follows the standards associated with the robots.txt document. It tells robots to ignore some or all information from your Web server. The format of the robots.txt file is specified in the Robot Exclusion Standard (http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/exclusion.html#robotstxt). When deciding which pages to crawl on a particular Web server, JetBot will obey the first record in the robots.txt file with a User-Agent starting with "JetBot." If no such entry exists, it will obey the first entry with a User-Agent of "*".

Create the robots.txt file (using the information from the link above), name it "robots.txt" and include it in the root folder of your Web site. This is the folder where the page with your index (or default) page resides. JetBot has a user-agent of "JetBot/1.0." Make entries for JetBot according to what you would like ignored during upcoming crawls.

In addition, another standard for directing crawlers/robots is available on a page-by-page basis. Place meta tags on each HTML page you want something in particular to happen with during the crawl. When you make these changes to your page, it will take up to 7 days before the changes propagate to JetEye's next crawl. "

So to keep it from accessing your page add "JetBot" under the Sentinel Admin -> Harevester Blocker Settings.

Jeteye.com is a pain in the butt. They send out about 15 bots at once. They really mess up my page views report Sad
