Those days are gone.. sigh! Is your site content-heavy? It could be someone trying to download your site's content to use for whatever reason it might be, or it might be just a script kiddie trying enjoying his time. Anyway you should it take it seriously and investigate the information available at your hand about the source and cause of these actions. Here's a nice tutorial on how to deal with these scripts by blocking them through the use of robots.txt and .htaccess. It's a part of a series so you'd better start from the first part.
