Stopped hotlinking with htaccess - what4 - 07-04-2006
I installed the htaccess code on my servedr to stop people from hotlinking to the contents of my site, and bandwidth usage over the following month dropped dramatically.
Here's a useful site on doing that. You may know of better ones.

"Hotlinking" means someone, on their site, calls, say a picture that is stored on your site. That way, YOU pay the storage and bandwidth fees. They just enjoy the picture.

Very neat.
I'll have to remember this.
