   It's hard to tell - my guess is that it may be some sort of revenge bot,
but running at a low level, not intended to saturate your connection.

   Or , it may be just an email address harvesting bot run amok - getting
stuck on that URL and spread out among thousands of bot hosts.

   Spoofing the source IPs is very unusual these days - with all the free
botted hosts out there, no one bothers.
