Hotlink?

[eth84]

I wish to seek help regarding the ways to find out if someone is hotlinking to my files/stuff?
Are there any ways to do so?
I know about using .htaccess or something like that to prevent hotlinking I guess but firstly I need to know whether anyone's hotlinking, that's my prime purpose.
Thanks.

If you have access to your site's stats like Awastats or Webalizer you can see if there's any undue bandwidth leakage and which files are most accessed and possibly the referrer.

If you have put in place various methods to prevent hotlinking you will probably also see a fair number of errors logged indicating attempted hotlinking access and denial.

Like chrisooc said use a program like Webalizer to interpret them.
You can get it for free from http://www.webalizer.org/
The download should come with full instructions, but basically it is a command line program. You tell it where to fine your raw log file - it number crunches for a moment, program ends - and you are left with a whole bunch of HTML pages containing the stats as tables and graphs - a little like StatCounter but not nearly as much info, just very deep stats on exact pageloads, images downloads, server errors, etc
