For the last few months, my bandwidth use as been increasing; and my pageviews have stayed relatively the same. Upon researching this, I’ve discovered that many places are now “hotlinking” directly to my programs, which means that the user might no idea what, or where they are getting the software from. Worse, they most likely are unaware of whom to contact for support!

As mentioned in this post on my forums; I now do a test to see if my files are being referenced locally, or from one of my other sites. If this is the case, the file will download as normal; otherwise, the user will be redirected to my software page.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
