This one russian host has been hitting the Star Guitar Video that I have on my server over and over again. Now, it’s not that bad bandwidth-wise, as it’s transferred about 350MB, but it’s just the way that it’s been going on that’s annoying. Over 25,000 hits and counting. Removing the file didn’t stop the host. I got so annoyed tonight that I put a block in my htacces and xinetd.conf files. I probably should have done that earlier. At least I don’t have this crap polluting my logs anymore (76% of the hits so far in April were from Russia. Coinciding with the same percentage of hits from a FlashGet user agent, of course). Grrr. Well, hopefully it’s solved now.
