Abstract
A politeness manager estimates traffic to the sites based on historical log data generated and sent by plug-ins or toolbars on client web browsers. The historical log data details dates and times the web browsers visit different web sites that is used to understand what timeframes specific web sites are busy and what timeframes the web sites are not busy. Crawl rates for different timeframes for a web site are determined based on the historical log data, and web crawlers are scheduled to crawl the web site according to the crawl rates to minimize the chances that web crawler requests are responsible for the site crashing.
