how to control my zip file with download? help, urgent!
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 4:31 am
currently I have a big trouble with zip files on my site.
A trouble maker used software to download hundreds of copies of my zip files directly - he even does not need to view html/php pages, it causes "over use of shared server resource".
I think, if I block his IP address manually (not done so far), he may change his IP and come back again.
But I have to fix the problem.
I have no idea now, may I do as followings?
1) user must access to my web page first for downlod, he can not use software (i.e. c++) to download zip files directly even he knows address of the zip file.
or
2) change address of zip file
or other ways.
please help, give me idea and script/php code/samples, so I can fix the trouble soon.
(of cource, idea can be completed by code).
thank you.
