Hi all,

I have recently bought Photopost and incorporated it in my site.

One of the tips they give you is about the bandwidth stealing (a user makes a link to your site from another site hence using your resources). They say that I can create an htaccess file put some code in (that is provided) using the Rewrite engine and that will stop the bandwidth "thefts"

Does anyone know how this can (if it can) be implemented in Windows 2000? I am running windows 2k advanced server

TIA

Warm regards

Nikos

IIS does not allow for .htaccess prevention on hotlinking images. However, if you use Apache on Windows you can do it just link they do on Linux.

Are you running IIS? LeechBlocker might work for you.

(I don't know anything about LeechBlocker myself. I saw a link to it in an Infopop Community topic.)

Thanks Dave. I already thanked you on another post for this information - I guess another thanks wouldn't hurt

Warm regards
