I think you'll find that no matter waht you do,there will be people who for one reason or another cant download even though you can find no reason why.

If you have access to web logs,look for lines like this--

[Mon Aug 01 10:32:54 2005] [error] [client 207.46.98.126] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/php/player.php
[Mon Aug 01 10:42:55 2005] [error] [client 207.46.98.126] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/php/player.php

207.46.98.126 happens to be msn's web crawler,which is becoming rather annoying.

huh???

Some people using Outpost firewall or another tool which filters referers out may block download.

do you mean that?

If you have access to it, you can block the ip with iptables, or shove robots.txt in the root directory with a block on the ET directory.

I know,the only thing I havent done is completely block the ip.
When it's done right it wont affect download.

Code: Select all

User-agent&#58; *
Disallow&#58; /php/
Disallow&#58; /etmain/
Disallow /cgi-bin/
Disallow /pb/
Disallow /stats/
Disallow /files/
