    You could look in your server logs and see which IP addresses are consuming the bandwidth then block access from those IPs. This has worked for me in the past.

    You can add rule in .htaccess file for disable it.

    Cant you see these linking to you through your Google Webmaster Tools control panel? That's how I found thirty thousand leachers on my site a few years back, and somebody gave me the code to htaccess it and block it, here's a few notes on that..
