Just out of curiosity, when a site is being spidered by a bot and it gets that click here to continue page, and continues spidering, how does that prevent hotlinking? The bot still downloads the file.

The type of hotlinking most people are trying to prevent is from the fusker sites where people set their bots up to suck down all the content they can. Since those bots follow links, what have you stopped?

I guess the honest surfers that are surfing fusker with an actual browser might be stopped.
