Limit downloads? January 22, 2018, 03:36:10 pm I don´t want toblock countries.I just want to block users, who try to download via Ripper Software the whole forum pages...Is there any ready to go Plugin or Mod I could use for this, where I could block, e.g. after so many Mbytes the further access to the forum of this user or IP adress ?Many thanks.

I don't think it's trivial.

The Bad Behaviour is included into the core of elkarte Not exactly what you are asking but blocks a lot of junk traffic
