Hi,

I already have hotlinking htaccess in place to stop anyone stealing images but i was wondering if there is a way to stop any IP that exceeds a certain level of bandwidth (eg, 50MB) from accessing the site again.

At the moment i check the traffic logs and get IPs that exceed this limit and ban them, but by that time its too late, they've gone through my site and stolen the content. Is there a way i can automate this?

Thanks.
