Ever since I put videos and mp3s on my site lots of other sites have linked them which in turn uses up my bandwidth. I was told by my host that I could block access from certain ips or urls by adding

order allow,deny
deny from www.korni.by.ru
deny from www.geocities.com/kornheavymetalenglish
allow from all

to my .htaccess file. When I did that I went to the sites that should have been blocked from my site and I was still able to download my videos and mp3s that they had linked off of my site. Please help me I can't afford to have these people using up all my bandwidth.
