Someone Keeps Hacking My Bandwidth

[JerryvonKramer]

Hi guys. I've had my site for about a year now. It ticks over nicely, get around 20 or 30 hits a day. It's just a nice little personal website about my fave games, films and music.

On average it uses 1.32 MB of Bandwidth per month. And this has been the case for about 12 months. However, recently, someone seems to have executed some sort of script on it, which has absolutely blown my bandwidth -- over 11GB in just under an hour.

That blew December's bandwidth -- then, it came back online on 1st Jan, but now it's happened again. Look:

This is clearly something or someone malicious. Here's the raw data log:

Earlier today:

I'm pretty irritated by this because I'm just about to upload an article I've been working on for almost a year. How can I stop this from happening? And can I get my bandwidth allocation back?

do you have anything that people would hotlink, such as images or videos? some feel that they don't need to put those kind of things on their own host, thus draining others. take a look at the hotlink section in cpanel, so only your account can use those files.

I know that it is one guy who has done something specific to blow my bandwidth. There are a lot of images on the site, but I have hotlink protection on.
Edit:
I've just had a look at awstats:

"Unknown robot (identified by empty user agent string) Hits: 181242 Bandwidth: 11.00 GB 01 Jan 2009 - 19:55"

Plenty of people have this problem - the robot is targeting x10 sites.
Admins have been notified.
For now, deny it access using a .htaccess file.
