Checking requested range

Is there anything in PHP which would allow me to check the requested range 
of bytes by an client?

Basically one of the download scripts I made some time ago got hit by a load 
of requests for a file, but the server was giving back "416 Requested Range 
Not Satisfiable".  I assume that the user is trying to use a download agent 
of some kind, but this was killing my server by soaking up all the memory 
with all these requests.  What I wanted to do was check this request and 
then drop the connection straight away, if it seems suspect, is this 
possible?
