Free Hot Linking Stopper Code Generator, to keep people from linking to your files and stealing your bandwidth. Hot linking is the process whereby someone from another site links to images or files on your site.
The reason for this is so they don't have to host the file at their site and use their monthly web traffic allowance. The more traffic, page views and image views the more
monthly traffic allowance you need, meaning higher bandwidth costs to you! This system uses mod_rewrite and .htaccess.

After you enter your information push "Generate" and your code will be created on the next page. There you can download the completed .htaccess file or copy the code into Windows Notepad or other ASCII text editor, to paste it into an existing .htaccess file.
