Google bot

[crysis]

Hi,
I have a web site, www.cpz.za.net, and googlebot has slurped up 2+ Gigs of bandwidth this month. I am using phpbb2 plus. Would any one be able to know how i can decrease the amount of bandwidth googlebot is using?
Thanks

google for robots.txt and you put in a line that tells the bots to f off

Keep in mind your google rating will fall, weigh the cost of bandwidth against the business lost from blocking google.

And kiss 90% of your traffic goodbye.. rather read up on the bots.txt file, you can tell the bot how often to visit etc, also if you have a google account you can use the webmaster tools to control how the bot crawls your sites.

Where do i find this robot.txt?

If you don't know about robot.txt don't play admin of a website. Find someone and pay them good money to solve this problem. A linux/apache expert will do the job.
