I'm going to add a downloads section to mudinfo.net but I wanted to prevent ppl from linking directly to the downloads off of their site. I've tried a few things but was wondering if anyone already figured out a good way to do it.



-syn

anti-leech

n/m i figured it out by using a .htaccess file.



try it: http://www.mudinfo.net/downloads/b2h_v2.3.0.4.zip



here's the file i made incase anyone else wanted to do it. note, this requires apache with support for mod_rewrite:





RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yoursite.com/.*$ [NC]

RewriteRule \.(zip|exe)$ http://www.yoursite.com/pathto/errorpage.html [R,L]





(yes i know you can just copy the url and paste it, but that's ok)

hrm..... could have done it in php I Think too....

oh yeah forgot about that...



it's pretty easy to do with php



however, warhawk, it's quite easy to trace where the dl's are comin from if you do it with php

no its not :) You obviously don't know how to write php then.... You can hide so much info in php.....

setup a page with a download that you think i can't get the direct link for war hawk

god damnit, now i can't find the tracer...



as soon as i get it again i'll tell you, k? :P

PHP is messy at best tho.

and sloppy at worst?
