No more Gozilla
 

Hi, I am new to this board so hello to all.
I am woundering if anyone out there knows of any programs that can stop programs such as Gozilla and Telport Pro from being used on my site?
Thanks :upsidedow

welcome to the board!

to answer your question
if this progies access site with specific user-agent, you can disalow them from seeing your sites, or redirect them someplace at all. there is no wizard interface for point-n-click to disable specific clients, you either do it on htaccess level or in your web scripts.

Limit your site downloads for 1 connect from 1 IP max, that will solve the problem for 100%

when someone uses a downloading program arn't they only using one ip address anyway.

Yes, but he means one connection per ip. Web rippers typically open a number of connections to download faster.

The useragent block is the best solution as most webrippers can use just one connection, but isn't 100% effective either because the better webrippers allow you to set user agent tags that mimic most popular browsers.

Yep, that should work.
