Hello All,

Not sure if this is the correct place for this topic. I have a restiction in my .htaccess file to redirect any linking to my download section which is not comming of my own web sites or subdomains (must say I had to do it because lot of forum were linking to my files directly). It is working very well, however, I was adviced to allow "no referal" to be able to access the files or I could get dropped from the SERPS because all the robots come with no referal too and redirect them was not a good idea.

The problem is that now I have seen some "DA 7.0" user agent downloading almost every file from my download area and it is comming with no referal, I'd like to identify this UA because it is the first time I have see it.

Anybody knows what UA is it?

Thanks.

It's a version of Download Accelerator - block it.
