Anti-Leech Attachments - prevent hotlinking and bandwidth theft!
Developer Last Online: Dec 2014 
Title : Anti-Leech Attachments
Version : 1.1 Coder : Jason Williams Purpose : Prevent your forum attachments from being directly linked to - prevent bandwidth abuse. Why : Bandwidth can be expensive, plus I was frustrated with one of my members linking to three video clips on my forum from his own site, effectively abusing the bandwidth I pay for, so I set about a system that stops hotlinking, but at the same time, as a courtesy, providing a dynamic link to the post containing the attachment. How : This could be replicated very easily using .htaccess but the one thing that it can't do is give you the link to the attachment itself. This mod displays a message informing the user that hotlinking is not allowed, then giving them the link to the post to view the attachment directly. Known Issues : The security can be defeated by using the drop down style menu on the Anti Leech page - this has only been confirmed as an issue on Firefox. I have unsucessfully tried to find a way of removing the drop down on that page only. Confirmed working with vBSEO 3.2.0. Important : This has been tested on 3.6.2 and 3.8, I can presume it will be compatible with 3.7.x because it works on 3.8 - as always BACKUP FIRST! Demo : http://www.steadiforum.com/attachmen...9&d=1180779148 Installation : 1. Import Product - product-antileech.xml 2. Save bandwidth! File uploads : 0 Files to Import : 1 New Templates : 1 New Phrases : 2 Uses Hooks : 1 Uses Queries : 1 History : v1.0 - Original release v1.1 - Added enable/disable option, tested on VB 3.8 Done - if you like please click install! (and click Nominate for MOTM!) Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Show Your Support

The best way to test if it's working is copy the attachment.php link and test it in a new browser window - this is how I tested it on mine.

Sorry for the hassle, Jason

Would one be able to view attachments if one is not a member of the site?
