anyone know about this place? I was checking my stats and seen it sent me 30k hits to a directory I left open. Bastards

Redway is a big TGP and he links to directories, but he doesn't hotlink, from what was said on a previous thread here on GFY and from what I've seen.

Set up your server to not display directories and it won't happen.

If you do a search for Redway here on GFY, I think there was info on how to set up the server properly.

What do you mean a directory you left open?

FlyingIguana · 06-15-2002, 12:09 AM

not putting an index file in a dir

I can't belive you don't know about readway yet.

Solution: Put a link to a sponsor or your money maker in the index of your dir. ASAP.

Best advice I can give you.

FlyingIguana · 06-15-2002, 12:11 AM

redway has prolly the worst rules i have ever seen on a tgp...

Try putting yourdomain.com/niche/indes.html & yourdomain.com/niche/pics/index.html

Problem solved.

kenny · 06-15-2002, 12:13 AM

Already done, I usually cap off the directory with the index page when its complete, I like to leave them open when I am building on it, so I can view the contents with the browser.

kenny · 06-15-2002, 12:15 AM

I still think it's fuck up, I see huge movie directories left wide open, it's not hotlinking but they are still robbing bandwidth.

I agree, but it's their own dumbass fault for leaving it open like that....
I've done it by mistake before & have paid the price.

kenny · 06-15-2002, 12:26 AM

I am going to start opening my directories and submit them there, and when they get accepted I will put the cap back on

FlyingIguana · 06-15-2002, 12:29 AM

redway should be hung by his balls for doing this.

obviously its up to the directory owner to protect themselves, but typically it'll be the noobs who don't know about this. then they get their bandwidth bill...

when i first started out i learned about htaccess after i lost my hosting account from a hotlinker. i wasn't a happy camper.

kmanrox · 06-15-2002, 12:33 AM

ya they are fuckers...

now i have to go whack off, ty

I didn't loose my account, but I definitely learned the hard way....

kenny · 06-15-2002, 12:35 AM

Thats alot of content he is linking to, this site gets alot of traffic, I say the top link could probably get 70k

FlyingIguana · 06-15-2002, 12:48 AM

ya thats a ton of bandwidth especially the one with like 50 mpgs.

i bet redway wouldn't be a popular guy at webmaster conventions lol
