If you search with Google for Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; fr-crawler/1.1) which is part of browscap/browscap#267 the link browscap.org/stream?q=BrowsCapINI is part of the search result.

I think, our ini files dont need to be indexed by Google. A rel="nofollow" should be added to each download link, or it should be added with a meta tag.

FYI... rel="nofollow" on links wont stop search engines indexing your content.

That just stops 'link juice' from being calculated.

To stop them being indexed you need to use robots.txt or specify the meta <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> on the page with the links

Good point - I'll sort this out.
