Re: Anyone know of a way to detect remote loading of images?

Jim,

If you use the stats we provide (awstats) it will show you if people are using your bandwidth.

To turn it on, click 'enable stats' in your website manger.

Once they have been enabled for a period of time you will be able to check your stats to see where your hits are coming from. You can find your hits from other sites by clicking 'Referring sites' found under the title 'Referrers:' from there you will see a list of sites, the ones that have lots of 'hits' but little 'pages' means there are linking to your files. So if you see 500 in the hits column but only 5 in the pages column that is a good sign that they are using your bandwidth.

If you find you are having a problem you can then use the .htaccess file like mentioned above.
