My website's feed has also been crawled by rate-limited-proxy-72-14-199-54.google.com.
This bot has also crawled the hidden landing page I've defined in my Adwords campaign ...may be there's a link between Google Adwords and this bot...

Hi
 
rate-limited-proxy does crawl pages unrelated to Adwords too.
 
I think "proxy" in the name may be a part of the answer : it may be used for various unrelated tasks.
 
But maybe the User-Agent information may be more explicit : it was "Feedfetcher-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html; *** subscribers; feed-id=*******************)" for me. (I removed some private information).
 
Regards,

I've also got this hitting my website as well..
 
209.85.238.4 - - [16/Apr/2009:20:25:55 -0400] "GET /yt/search/lockergnome?maxresults=5&orderby=published&fmt=rss Hr-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html; feed-id=6904524918873439416)"
 
This no longer exists and I have /yt passworded. even tried returning a 404. I've added this to the urls to remove in the webmaster tools. After a week ish or so, its still hitting my site.
 
I'd love for this to stop. Any help would be great.

Sorry to double post. There wasn't an option to edit my previous one so here's another. I've also added a robots.txt file telling any robots to not use /yt a few days earlier.

It's feedburner. Each time one of your subscriber's rss reader requests an update google crawls the feed they are subscribed to. Also included in the information is how many subscribers the reuqest is for.
