    Hotlinking protection should help you to reduce the bandwidth usage if your website's images are directly used by someone.

    .htaccess can be used as well

    What script are you using?

    Sounds like you may have been compromised, and have some bad files/scripts on your site. Take a look through your logs and your web stats to see what files are being called often, and examine them.

    Your images from hotlink will share to another site with high traffic ! So sad.

    Go to Control Panel ? Visitor Statics and find file and refer site spent bandwidth
