Looking at my server logs I noticed that almost 30% of my traffic was from China and korea. I have written a .htaccess file that will completely block those countries from your server. The Chinese and Koreans are notorious for sucking down your bandwidth and using up all your resources. Sorry to all the Chinese and Koreans but that's life. If anyone wants the file they can get it here: http://v-hosting.co.uk/china.rar Drop the .htaccess file into your website root or copy and paste the contents into your present .htaccess file. This file will block the entire Chinese and Korean IP ranges. feedback please... dalem
