Title: Does HFS have anti-leech protection?
Post by: sunny7day on March 22, 2010, 11:22:14 AM

I was using Linux server to serve files that are over 1G of size. But people keep leeching files from my server to waste my bandwith.
So just wanted to ask, does HFS have leech protection?

i don't understand what you mean by "leeching", it's too generic.
there's an anti-leeching option in HFS, enabled by default, that will prevent download accelerators from opening many connections for the same file.
