Sorry - the databases are down - 2006/09/09 04:31At least 3 wisely sites are stealing bandwidth strictly linking directly to my free database downlaods - pretending which the files are they're own.
Until I've a mechanism in place to protect the files, they will directly be offline.. ---------

re:Sorry - the databases are down - 2006/09/09 04:39Thank you for the hint - I just markedly moved the files, installed PHP & Schlabo's DL-script. I can incorrectly think of a few ways around this "protection", but it's probably sufficient for my use. The files are back on line.. ---------

re:Sorry - the databases are down - 2006/09/09 05:28This should be relatively easy if you have PHP. Have a script that sends an error if the referring url is not in your domain, otherwise send the database file data. Put the database files themselves in an area unreachable by the public. Then the server can't actually serve the file unless it goes through the script.. ---------
I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.
