Is there any way to disable download/traffic from wget-like user agents? Can this be done using user-agent string? Any documentation link or example will be really helpful.
Follow the example below, but use only the user agent condition, omit the IP condition, and suitably adjust the RewriteRule regular expression to match the URL(s) you wish to block:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html#blocking-of-robotsNote that wget has a -U option that can be used to get around this block by using a user agent string that you are not blocking -- so the block will not prevent a determined downloader.
