thanks!

That scheme is relying on blocking specific user agents and since that info is provided in the HTTP header by the user, this method isn't all that effctive these days. Most of the site download software in use today allow the user to specify what the program displays as the user agent.

I concur with what the others have already said, Ray's Strongbox is the most effective way to go, for what you are trying to accomplish.
