Chribba, maybe 'limiting' the amount of hits PER IP/<timespan> rather than a 'global' limit, and apply that to files >X bytes.
Example:
any single IP can only request 2 files OVER 524288 bytes (512kB) PER minute.
that way, the 12 different ip's can only request 24 files per minute, rather than.. 9k?
for the people who use it 'normally' won't notice it that much, plus the forum signatures won't be affected... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Xaroth Brook Brainiac of Doomcraft |

Got any software/hardware that does this for me and I'll have a closer look?

Recently I've been using a program called Free download manager to download vids off of eve-files. Is this sort of program that creates a small number of limited connections to download a single file causing similar negative effects as well?
well you are creating more server work and using up a little more of whatever max pipe he has (think chribba still uses a max pipe, ul BW deal) but I dont think your a drop in the ocean to 9k bot requests :)
Exactly, there's always multiple connections from every IP, loading for example 4 different signature images from a thread, download managers etc but I seriously doubt that your download manager opens up more than 20 pipes at the same time.
.htaccess combined with php? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Xaroth Brook Brainiac of Doomcraft |

IIS w/ ASP / Apache w/ ASP will work as well, as long as there's some kind of url rewriting done to proxy all requests through a script...
But I talked to a mate of mine who knows more about this ****.. he said that it'd be less effort to just ban the entire content of China from accessing the files. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Xaroth Brook Brainiac of Doomcraft |
