Prevent direct linking?

[pilot830]

It would be good to have an option to turn on or off called Prevent Direct Linking

Some way where if an IP didn't visit the normal URL page first, they can't load the direct download token url ?

Long as they load the actual normal page url first, then the downlaod token url works

Because if people post the direct download token URL on a forum, then we get no ad revenue or anything...

More people should be concerned abotu this because people can just direct link and they get rewards for it while you get no ad revenue

You can make the downloads work only with a single ip, but it will cause problems.

Tokens have a short lifetime and you can make it even shorter. This will make any direct link become invalid after some hours.

You can also log how many ips used tokens for each account and block users for account/link sharing.
