no, not with M/S IIS, you need outside stuff like
a leechblocker or some sort of ISAPI filter.

Well, here's the email I sent:
"Hallo. Mein Herz ist traurig, weil Sie an Fireflyfans.net angeschlossen werden. Internet kostet eine große Menge Dollar.
Wenn Sie nett sein mögen, ändern Sie bitte Ihre Weisen. Helfen Sie uns, weil wir alle Brüder und Schwestern in der Welt des Firefly sind.
Ich schreibe mit einer glücklichen Haltung, weil ich weiß, daß Sie eine gute Person sind und die korrekte Sache tun werden. Danke für das Genießen des Firefly."

Ummm....you might want translate since most of us here are of the English speaking variety though I could imagine that it isn't a very nice e-mail.
Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

If you may be nice, change please your ways. Help us, because we are all brothers and sisters in the world of the Firefly.
I write with a lucky attitude, because I know the fact that you are a good person and will do the correct thing. Thanks for enjoying the Firefly."

So you were nice. I guess since he is a fellow Browncoat it would be wise not to be mean to him. But imagine if it was a hate Firefly site...

A friend of mine used to have the same problem with a gallery she ran. She was able to find a CGI Script that would only show the picture if the request came from a certain address.
This would keep people from stealing your bandwidth. I will ask her about the script next time I talk to her.
I'd like to know too. I renamed the big versions of some of my images, but ended up removing them altogether. I got tired of seeing my 55 mb images used as 100 x 100 pixel forum avatars, listed in forums and used as background images on other sites.
I think the problem mainly comes from ignorance - it's become so easy to make your own website that it's not neccesary anymore to know any details about making websites and thus learning about bandwidth theft. I was pretty oblivious about it until it happened to me.
Hey, Haken - what about inlining some of HIS images if he doesn't stop? That should make him take notice ;-)

Link doesn't work but out of curiousity I searched "Hate Firefly" and "Firefly sucks" and from the first few pages saw very little along those lines. Mostly people bitching that FOX sucks or they hate FOX. Most of the people (that hated or thought it sucked) were Dark Angel fans that hadn't even seen Firefly and others saw an episode on TV and didn't understand what was going on.
There was one review of the "Serenity" that said it was completely boring and the actors couldn't act if there life depended on it and the sets looked cheap and the F/X was not as good as Star Wars. Person couldn't write very well (didn't capitialize any words, run ons, fragments, etc... over and over again) so I didn't give the review much merit.
