Frankly, I can't imagine someone sitting in China in front of a Win98 box and
hitting the download button 25044 times. I guess this is scripted, and they
will change the identifier as soon as they notice they're being blocked. I'm
afraid this is not going to work.

What about the spamblockers used by blogs and guestbooks, where you have to read
letters or numbers from a jpeg image before proceeding. I know this is going to
create an accessibility issue, but it seems to work fairly well.

just my 2c,

Markus
