jeteye.com who are they?

[Beermonster]

Has anyone had jeteye/jetbot indexing their site? it has been on one of mine is mass numbers for over 24hrs yet their site is very vague to say the least about what they do, I have found very little information about them on the net apart from one post on a forum from a user called jeteye saying:

Hello all. I meant to post this sooner. Yes, JetBot is the spider for JetEye.com, a new Internet technology company with a public beta due in a couple months. Yes, we are benign, and yes we are licensing some technology from GigaBlast. So JetBot is as well behaved as gigabot. If you have any questions or concerns you can use the contact page on our site at http://www.jeteye.com/contact.html

All the best,
The JetEye Team


Now if it's a search engine indexing my site then I don't have a problem with it, but if it's not then they are sucking up my bandwidth for no reason

Thanks, but what I'm saying is what is it doing with the info it's collecting? they have no search facility

It says on their website:

"JetBot is JetEye's Web crawler. Our robot identifies, retrieves and stores Web documents to build a searchable index for the JetEye search engine. "

I guess maybe when it has crawled enough they will actually launch the front end of the search engine?

It has a FAQ section here: http://www.jeteye.com/jetbot.html but it mainly talks about robots.txt and how to stop it crawling some or all of your site.
