This software hides downloadable files and generates temporary links for visitors, valid for a specified time and cannot be shared. It can serve as an authorization solution.
If you offer any files for download from your website, it's important to know that others need to ask your permission in order to publish your materials on their sites. All of your images, audio files, documents, and other downloadable content are protected by copyright law. However, others can still offer your files to their visitors without any credit to you by putting direct download links that point to the files on your server. This method is called "hot linking," and the people who do this are called "leeches." Not only do you lose visitors and revenue from any advertisements on your site, but you also compete with your own content. Unfortunately, leeches do not infringe any laws, so complaining to their hosting providers is typically not effective.
There are many anti-leech solutions available, but most of them are intended for Unix servers and require the installation and configuration of PHP scripts. Fortunately, HotlinkBlocker offers an easy-to-use solution that is designed for Windows-based hosting. With this software, you can easily choose from three different protection methods and use them simultaneously. You can customize the level of protection for each folder and hide your downloadable files while generating temporary links for every visitor. Links are only valid for a specified amount of time and cannot be published on other sites, which means your content is protected at all times.
If you're tired of dealing with leeches stealing your content, then HotlinkBlocker is the solution for you. This powerful software offers an advanced user authorization scheme that is perfect for protecting your downloads and ensuring that you receive the credit and revenue you deserve. With HotlinkBlocker, you can rest easy knowing that your content is safe and secure, no matter who tries to steal it.
