Just Realized My Shit May Not Be Reachable

Mr Exotic · 2008-10-24, 12:26 PM

After changing servers, and launching a new project, just realized this morning that my sites my not be reachable at the moment. Thru all the rushing around we forgot to take the proper measures to block the leechers. And when you have something like 2000 clips using up around 15 gigs that aint protected you're asking for big problems that we just found.

So I just asked my host the block that folder as I cannot even get to my server. Basically my server is in meltdown mode now. I'll get this taken care of ASAP.

Just found out, cant block movies with htaccess

So we'll need to get some expensive ass script (that we wont have the money for for a while) to block movies from unwanted refferers. So right now the host is working on capping the download speed for the domain that hosts all the movies, which in turn will allow all my free site stuff uneffected, we'll use this as a temp fix until we get that script.

Found a temporary solution by putting a download speed cap on per IP on just the one domain that serves the movies. So all the free site and link list stuff is completely unaffected now.
