BANDWIDTH THEFT - YOU BASTARDS!

Ugh - what a pain - I'm staring at my bandwidth for TheSciFi.Com wondering why I'm halfway to my monthly limit. Of course, it's because of my mirror of the Star Wars trailers. So, I think cool - at least plenty of people are hitting my site and seeing my ads. But then, I've only sold a handful of items, but again, my bandwidth is through the roof. So I moved the trailers to another server and BOOM - the bandwidth freezes and doesn't move on the new server! This means some DIQUEEDS out there are linking directly to the trailers and not simply refering their users to my site. PRETTY damn lame. So, now I am in the process of tracking down some apps that will stop people from DLing my files without actually BEING on my site. It's fine that you DL them and then put them up on your own server, but don't abuse my bandwidth BUDDY!! This on top of a bunch of VCDs gone wrong is making this week into a thoroughly annoying one. 2001 DIDN'T END YET!! THINGS STILL SUCK!!
