Only whole-site blocks recorded against this crawler’s name count here. Rules addressed to every crawler are outside this count. Of 69 blocks, 13 do not also appear in our count of files naming it. The counted overlap is 56 files, with 3 files naming it without banning all paths. Missing names account for 6,112 files. Repeating a name or changing its capitalization does not increase the naming total.
