Thanks to implementing the .htaccess method of tracking downloads with Downloads pepper, and some digging into my Awstats, I’ve found that I’m getting a lot of downloads of a specific song from Japan.
The link seems to be direct to the mp3 file so they don’t leave a referrer (or maybe they are blocking it), but it comes from several different mp3 sites.
The question is:
Using .htaccess, how can I allow downloads only if the referrer is my own site, and send visitors that are following a direct mp3 link from another site to my mp3 page? (and track all this via Downloads pepper)
