This upload further optimizes the spiders.txt file, and includes an optional spiders-large.txt, based on ChrisW123's upload. The larger file will catch additional spiders (which may not be active nowadays) at the cost of slower page loads. The large file has also been optimized and corrected somewhat.

If you have any suggestions or changes for this contribution, please contact me first so that we can work together. Thanks.

I've taken Steve's list and compared it to my huge list of spiders, and added the missing ones from his into mine, to create this update. All others files included (which is just the readme.txt file).

Thanks Steve for this contribution!
