    I am having some trouble with my bandwidth usage. Some of my images are being used by other blogs and I am having a big trouble with bandwidth. I think when images loads on other blogs my bandwidth is consumed and I am really worried that my bandwidth might exceed its limit soon. Is there any plugin or something that will prevent my images being used by others?

    try use .htaccess
    example :

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yourdomain.com [NC]
    RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|png|mp3|mpg|avi|mov|swf)$ http://yourdomain.com/1234.jpg [NC,R,L]
