Bots downloading material - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
hello.
yesterday switched download component had possibility e-mail me, if downloaded file.
so when checked inbox morning, i've received 100 e-mails, telling me 2 different ip addresses have downloaded material website 5.19 pm 7.28 pm.
later received yet 100 e-mails 4 other different ip addresses downloading exact same material, 10.58 11.20 am.
too odd behaviour ordinary people, figure bots.
is there anyway combat this? of course captcha 1 way, component use doesn't offer service (phoca download). can combine component captcha plugin?
the site running joomla 1.5.24 stable version.

hi, phoca download not have feature allow downloading files @ once. if bot visits site , goes every link (inlcude download links) maybe should "whole site" protection, e.g. ban bot displaying site, etc.
