I found someone hotlinking a few of my images, so I did the right thing and stopped them.

This went into my htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!^http://(www\.)?mysite.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif¦jpg)$ [mysite.com...] [R,L]

Of course, now Froggle is filling my logs the next day with image requests.

This may not be the right forum... but is there a way to exclude Froggle from this condition, and still keep the leechers at bay?

thanks
grandpa

Hmm, so you want to allow Froogle? It seems that this should work, as Googlebot doesn't send referer strings.
