I guess I should describe the problem, I have a website, with content that I want to protect. I posted my website on another forum with a link to this content which we'll call for ex. a collection of mp3s.
After doing that, I have found that my website is getting overloaded, with people trying to download my stuff.
I have even been told that people have come across my website in other forums too.
The material on the website was only meant for the members of the forum that I gave my link too, however, somehow my files are ending up on other forums.
Now because most people use download managers, it's easier to just post a direct link to the file instead of going to the website.
Which is why I need some sort of security. When I was thinking about security measures, the first thing that came to mind was how porn sites deal with security, while not perfect, at least it will keep some of the leechers away.
It sounds like htaccess is something that I should look into.
I just want to thank everyone for replying, I didn't really know where I would start looking up info for my problem, thanks again for your help BoCo, sailor420, and hrdwareguy.
