Dreamhost has a ton of info on how to be invisible to spiders and the like. If you don't want anybody --except you-- being able to access your files, then you should configure .htaccess to your needs.

So what do I do, email DreamHost and say, "My MP3s--which I do use in a player on my website--are being leeched?"

Won't that stop ME from being able to use my files in a flash MP3 player on my site as well as get rid of the leechers?

On my space I have a lot of MP3 files. A backup, if you will.
I was looking at my site statistics today and I noticed that a bunch of these "MP3 leeching" sites for MySpace and the like are accessing my files.
How do I stop this?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/How-to-stop-MP3-leechers-22400593 Sat, 16 May 2009 23:56:39 EDT
