Anyone know what browsing client "DA 5.3" is?
 

I see a shitload of "DA 5.3" clients which seems to be causing loops. Anyone know what client/websucker that is?

Just a guess, but Download Accelerator? Version 5.3?
*shrug*

Could very well be, i know the 5.3 changes so im pretty sure it is a version number..

Thanks for a start in tracking this down.

Yep DA is www.downloadaccelerator.com/

Have researched this a while ago: 100% positive.

This stupid program is looping a PHP header() redirect and is causing millions of useless hits. Nothing else loops except for this stupid program.

Can't you block those with mod_rewrite?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^DA.* [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Teleport.*
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.winfiles.com

I always enjoyed sending the fuckers to winfiles.com to download all the software.

I have a whole list of them if you need it.
