I've just noticed the following in my site stats for yesterday;

HTTrack off-line browser http://www.httrack.com/

Should this concern me?

I wouldn't worry about it. It's a program for copying a website onto the local hard disk. Usually so that it can be viewed offline but in this case, given all the positive comments recently, I wouldn't be surprised if someone is making a copy so they can refer to it later when re-designing their own site.

Anyone want to put their hand up?

What about bandwidth? Won't the download of your entire site consume your bandwidth? :confused:

It could well be less bandwidth than if they kept coming back to have a look all they time they were working on their own site.

PS. three of your best seller images are around 40K Bytes each. If you're worried about bandwidth then you should fix these (the ties and braces images).
