Sounds like you should give the bots exactly what they want... a 512MB file of random data.

Most people have to pay for their bandwidth, though. That's a lot of data to send out over and over.

512MB file of incredibly compressible data, then?

Could I recommend https://cubes.hgreer.com/ssg/output.html ?

50:1 compression ratio, but it's legitimately an implementation of a rubiks cube, that I wasn't actually making as any sort of trap, just wasn't thinking about file size, so any rule that filters it out is going to have a nasty false positive rate
