php script showing as bot in hosting stats.

  • I looked at my raw access logs from my cpanel hosting and noticed this

    98.143.159.* - - [26/Apr/2016:08:47:57 -0400] "GET /wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cropped-katsmetallogo.png HTTP/1.1" 200 43075 "-" "PHP/5.4.44"

    I see thousands of these lines each day in my raw access log and I noticed this in my hosting stats 

    Robots/Spiders visitors (Top 25)   -   Full list   -   Last visit
12 different robots*	Hits	Bandwidth	Last visit
A PHP script	82,913	7.28 GB	30 Apr 2016 - 09:19

    it’s using a lot of bandwidth what could be do this to call the site you keep doing this.

    Thanks
