Protecting the video - EXAMPLE

[RawAlex]

Clickbuster, you are suggesting it could handle 240,000 requests a minute on that size of a server? I don't think so. I think you got about two zeros too many in there...

Plateman, are the majority of your hotlinks from one or two sources?

Rawalex as of two minutes ago I am showing 5 different ip's and traffic is dead you should see the page on a hun movie gallery or a few other tgps, I can refresh the page and see exactly whats going on and on a busy night there are many different hotlinkers I think I remember over a 100 ip's I am no ht.access wiz and this was recomended.. So I am doing the 39.00 a month till its paid for.. and I dont have to fool with it much, one person did steal a gallery and I emailed my host and they used ht.access for that..

Dude, are you hostile or what! You should read what I wrote again - it says 4000 simultaneus connections. That means that there're 4000 users downloading the movie in the same moment. Never said a thing about 4000 requests - not the same thing. And 240k requests in a minute will most probably kill many of the services there - it's like a DoS And don't get on my like this Alex, I just proposed a custom, home made solution for people that try to protect themselves from hotlinking - if you have something against sharing - let me know about it
