What TutusooBot does
TutusooBot crawls public web pages for the TutuFind index. It follows robots.txt by default and avoids private network addresses. It waits 1 second between page requests to a site by default and honors Crawl-delay up to a cap. Pages disallowed later are removed from the index on recrawl.
