they never find stuff on
bitsavers when you search for text.
Very early on, I disabled all search engines from .pdf files
on bitsavers' in the robots.txt file.
Google is particularly bad about fetching documents over and
over again.

mmm... any evidence they are using OCR to index pdf's?
of all the places I'd *like* them to OCR, it's bitsavers.
in fact, mmmmm, I'd like to connect the two dots. bitsavers + google
(and, and/all mit, standford, cmu, ... software archives)
something to start mentioning at various fund raising cocktail parties :-)

Al et al,
To be clear - the problem is that Google consumes bandwidth by
repeatedly downloading static documents, verses downloading dynamic
content whose index status might be new or dirty?
