BTW: is there a way to prevent any file we want ? like .mp3, .wma,... files, I have a jukebox but I don't want other sites use my music files.

In your .htaccess file add the following code and change the site adress

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*ayyas\.com.*$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://.*ayyas\.com.*$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !^.*warning\.gif$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(swf|bmp|gif|jpg|png|jpeg|avi|wmv|mpg|mpeg|wav|mp3|rar|zip|JPG|GIF|Jpg|RAR|ZIP|Rar|Zip])$ http://www.ayyas.com/images/warning.gif [NC,R,L]

I only allow warning.gif to be displayed in other sites. You can create your own warning gif.

Last two month was slow for my board and my traffic was around 2-2.25 gb per day.
