Since two to three days used bandwidth on
www.newlisp.org (newlisp.nfshost.com) has grown 10 times, this allthough page hits, downloads and other statistics in the logs seem to be the same. I am already using the following .htaccess on Apache for a few months:
Code: Select all
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} MJ12bot
order allow,deny
deny from 220.181.157.164
deny from 220.181.157.165
deny from 220.181.157.166
deny from 220.181.157.196
deny from 220.181.157.197
deny from 220.181.55.55
deny from 218.30.117.160
allow from all
.. as I have multiple downloads requests daily for all of the IPs above everyday for all downloads on the site. This has brought downloads and pages statistics down, but in the last 3 days bandwidth suddenly is 10 fold and I don’t know why. Download and page hit numbers stay low, but bandwidth is going through the roof as if .htaccess is not working correctly anymore? Does anybody have suggestions? Is there a more efficient way to suppress access from certain IPs ?
