    I have a bot or something that has been continuously hitting my site non-stop for the same url. (The IP is from www.file27.com) I've denied them through .htaccess, but it's not stopped trying whatsoever. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks in advance.

    You could block them using iptables, if you are certain of the IP address.

    Do something like:


    iptables -I INPUT -s <ip.add.r> -j DROP


    you could re-enable it if necessary, by:

    iptables -D INPUT -s <ip.add.r> -j DROP
