May Kasahara's Journal: Damn the leechers!

I need to vent.

Having looked at my domain's logs last night, I found that certain people are still leeching images off of my server, despite whatever polite cease-and-desist messages I've sent them. And on top of that, a particularly large file was being hijacked by a new leecher! I promptly changed the names of the images, edited the related pages, uploaded these new jpgs and html files (while taking any old ones down)... and promptly began searching for information on how I can prevent this from happening again.

So far I've downloaded at least three CGI/Perl scripts, but none of these seem to work (or have the features I want). There's still one that I have to try out, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. On the other hand, there's also .htaccess, which will most likely screw up where I keep the files that myself and a subdomain client use for our own personal remote linking, but it seems like the best option at this point. I still have to do some more research, so at the moment it's up in the air as to what I'll end up doing :P
