    Guys I am in big trouble. Some ppl are using my download links in their sites and using my server for download. I know there is a way to protect download links, like using links in a way so that only the main site users can download, other site users can't.

    But the problem is I don't know how to do this, pls tell me the right way of using download links so that only my site users can download the files. And I also want my download links to redirect to my home page when other links to them from their site. Thanks.
