Offline Explorer is a website downloader. My guess is that it forges headers so it gets by robots.txt or an .htaccess file.
It *can* get by mod_throttle as you are throttling each users download speed. Of course you could still download a website, but if a user is on your site for 12 hours, personally I would zap him and let him 'splain why. That is, of course, if you are running member based sites. I don't know what Brujah runs. We used to catch these guys all the time and turf 'em on the spot, usually. It was the guys on highspeed that pissed me off. Dialups I can understand, highspeed, fuck 'em.
