It doesnt work, coz the referrer is only set in 1% of all
downloads correctly.
You can block them via referrer, I can't remember what the cvar is but
there
was something you can use to set what the referrer is (which was then
hidden) and then setup your web server to only allow access if the
referrer
is correct.
I might have just imagined the above, or it may well have been that the
http
referrer was automatically set to the servers IP/PORT.

That wouldn't work because it's not the servers that request it. It's the
clients.

setup an httpd rule to only allow requests from allowed ip addresses (ie
your servers).

Interesting that you should bring this up. I've been wondering the same..
I've had a couple of people setup their server to leach off the url I use
for my own mapdownloads. Couldn't find any information on where the
clients were coming from, just saw them bouncing 404 on maps I don't have
up.. So I moved the folder :)
Maybe I missed something, but the discussion about referers
for mapdownloads in cstrike seems to have ended mid july.
Is it a secret feature you have to switch on or is it just not
implemented yet? (someone mentioned, it works for dod)
In that case, I'd like to bring this topic back to live.
Regards,
Suddenly
