I looked at my logs and saw that a FileMirror site has hotlinked all my files. At least quite a few. I created a HotLink protection in CPANEL that would disallow all zip files from being hotlinked, however it is not working. :?

Where it says extensions to allow I put in zip and I check marked Allow direct requests. Hotlink is enabled, however it does not protect anything. The URL to redirect to is my own site. If I remove the URL redirect there's no effect. When I remove the check mark form Allow direct requests no one can download off my own site.

What do I have to do? :?

Figured it out. People were telling me they were left clicking on my site to download when I had the Hotlinking protection on. The leaching sites were getting a HTML document when they right click and a re-direct to my site when they left click.
