I know this has been discussed before, but will using cookies block site downloaders? Its a little vague to me after looking at the "GetRight" website.
What I want to do is, in my membership section, use cookies to link to the 40 different movies pages. No cookie support, no link.
The problem is I am getting about 1 clown a day now who pulls 10 Gig in 2 hours. I wouldn't really care, except it trips my anti password sharing script and disables their account - sometimes pissing off a good recurring customer who did not share his password, just used a fucked up site downloader.
I figure .htaccess is a waste of time - all the good dowloders now have aliasing. Ditto on referal url - I have Windows Media and real Media and allow both downloading and streaming.
Which leaves cookie protection - Is it worth the bother - or is there something else I am not thinking of.
