<h4>Notes</h4>
<p>This plugin was inspired by the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-image-hotlink-protection/" rel="ugc">Hotlink Protection</a> plugin. There was a need for a more flexible implementation and so this plugin was created.</p>

<p>Traffic Limiter is a useful addon for blogs with many media files which can cause high data traffic.<br />
There are three traffic limits to avoid over traffic costs: daily, weekly and monthly limit. If one of these limits is exceeded downloads will either be redirected to a custom URL or a custom message is displayed. For images you can define a fallback icon which is displayed instead of the message. Additionally a download bandwidth can be set for registered users and guests.</p>
<p>Also included is a statistic system which displays the current traffic consumption and individual file stats to see which media produces the most traffic.</p>
<p>All files are sent to the browser by a PHP script, supporting the most HTTP headers like <code>If-Modified-Since</code> (for caching) and <code>Range</code> (for partial downloads)</p>
<p>If the Apache extension <code>mod_rewrite</code> is installed download links stay the same, if not links to media files are automatically redirected. It is recommended to install <code>mod_rewrite</code>, although this plugin works without this extension.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you provide lots of downloads or media files you should try my download manager <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-filebase/" title="WP-Filebase" rel="ugc">WP-Filebase</a>.</p>
