:mad NEw fusker = ixtractor.com -> impossible to stop from hotlinking !

They are burning my bandwith and maybe yours...

Forget the .htaccess it doesn't work !

HERE's WHY

I have .htaccess installed + LinkSentinel. It is not effective.

I contacted webair 4 times regarding this.
Looks like they can't stop them.

I wonder if they really care...
More bandwith burned = More $$ for them !

Didn't you notice a significant increase in your bandwith bill ?
You didn't care because you have hotlink protection + password sharing protection ?

SO WHAT ?

Surfers now don't care if you are TRYING to protect from hotlinkg with .htaccess, by setting their browser's HeaderReferer to 0, they still can burn your bandwith.
