RE: User Agent -teracent-feed-processing
Since "teracent-feed-processing" didn't followed the rules in robots.txt, we had to hard-block it. If server detects the user agent beeing "teracent-feed-processing" it will drop the connection: _ (104) Connection reset by peer_

RE: User Agent -teracent-feed-processing
It seems that "teracent-feed-processing" user agent is somehow linked to Google. If you analyse the Ip's , you'll noticed that are Google owned. Teracent company has been bought by Google in 2009.
btw - we've already blocked it, but I'm trying to figure it out what's the key role played by this user agent. We've also noticed a drastic decline in number of pages being reported in Google Webmaster Tools (half of what we used to have). Should I assume that the drop in reported indexed pages is a result of blocking the teracent-feed-processing user agent?
