Re:Problem wiht Hotlinking on Downloads - 2008/11/11 18:03 Yes, you're right that the .htaccess will not block use of the URI from the download button.

But the safeguard here is that the URI will only work for about 24 hours, after which a different check code is required. The URI is therefore of limited use for other sites who attempt to link to your files.

A link like http://www.bahamut-online.net/downloads.html?func=startdown&id=24 is permanent, but will cause a page of your site to appear, it will not deliver the file.
