Hello:For quite a while, I have been doing almost hand-to-hand combat with people using those mass downloaders like HTTRACK. Since the site in question is an online Tech Mag and meant to be read online, most sessions seen are where intent is to ignore the robots.text and download the entire website which is a huge amount of content. Of course, this hogs bandwidth and slows down things for all the other readers.
When alerted to a session via one of those utilities, they are stopped via a deny of IP from the website.
My Question:Is there a way to set a redirect to send any requests specifically from HTTRACK and others to a dead end so they suck air so I don't have to do this manually?
Appreciate any help. Best regards, Jack _________________________________________________________________Don?t just search. Find. Check out the new MSN Search! http://search.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200636ave/direct/01/
