Hi guys, Well thanks to this amazing software I now runa large forum that offers free music production downloads. The problem with leeching is unbelievable though. I have tried absolutely everything I can possibly think of to prevent the leeching. Minimum post count before accessing downloads - all it did was move the rubbish replies to the open boards PM on registration warning of rules & bans - Users seem to ignore this Mods that (bless them) work extra hard to ban leechers on sight Max. download quota (MB) per day - Users simply wait till their download quota refreshes! Minimum characters in reply - Trying to prevent THX or fsfniksd replies - users simply make their rubbish replies longer Has anyone found a succesful way to curb the leechers??? Thanks in advance! DoA
If the files are hosted on your server/hosting why don't you enable the hotlinking protection feature, it's great for those leechers out there.
