Temporary auto ban

[mikkel]

Hi,

At the moment we have clients, due to other software issues, which keeps requesting the same download and keeps downloading over and over again.

What I need is a script of some kind, which bans an IP which for example downloads more than 100mb to be temporarily banned for 24h. Is that possible?

I have no experience regarding macros or scripts of any kind.

Your help is very much appreciated.

it's possible but i don't think there's already a script to do exactly what you want.
If someone wants to work on it, can get a clue from these threads

sorry but i cannot find the time to do it myself

Hi there,

Your reply is very much appreciated, even though it's not a final solution.

I hope someone out there would take a look at it, since I know I'm not the only one who will find it useful.
