Anyone use this yet, and can you comment on it before I use it, please.

Thanks.

all it does is insert a bunch of records into the spider table, add overhead as an installed and active plugin and does nothing that makes it need to be a plugin.

I would not use it as a plugin. I'd pull the list of spiders from the plugin, or create your own list from a web search) and directly enter them into SQL via phpMyAdmin.

Otherwise edit the plugin to remove the code from the deactivate function and then activate it and deactivate it and remove it. This way it wont run as a plugin adding overhead when it does nothing
