This Web Robot, taking its name from the famous traveller Evliya Çelebi is an experimental web robot written by Ilker Temir in perl to specifically crawl all sites in Turkish. It follows either the pages under ".tr" domain or the pages that have Turkish character encoding (ISO-8859-9 or Windows-1254). It was designed as a hobby and used successfully for gathering some statistics about Turkish Internet infrastructure back in 2000 and 2001. There is no active development on the robot anymore.

It is open source, you can download version 0.14 and 0.17.

You can also read the FAQ and the old readme.txt about it.
