Strange behavior of the spider

[Максим Горковский]

Hello.

When I'm starting to crawl site, first 1-3 attempts ending with:

2011-12-26 15:58:05+0800 [scrapy] INFO: Scrapy 0.14.0.2845 started (bot: tenders)

Completely forgot: the question is how can I inspect response that
cause this behavior? Debugger in eclipse is unable to do it
