Hey all...<br />
<br />
I own a website with some avi and mpegs on it .<br />
<br />
Everything is cool, and I pay my server admin for the webspace and the host for UNLIMITED bandwith.....<br />
<br />
People are Download <!--more-->ing the movies in 170Kpsec most of the time, so the speed is GREAT!<br />
<br />
The problem begins when people are hotlinking my files, and the sites become too slow that many of the surfers can't go in my website.......<br />
<br />
I have Unix host, and when I run this test.php - it told me that I have apach something ....<br />
<br />
I don't really understand about all this stuff, but this is the server I have......<br />
<br />
I tried to use the htaccess- but I don't know how to work on it eather, and the web is not full of information about it ......<br />
<br />
Please..... I have to know how to work things out....<br />
<br />
Must get help someone, and thanks in advanced for all the people who will answer my question... :)<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
