RE: Can't Download The Scripting Documentation
Pfft... Norton is dodgy, blocking referers doen't have anything to do with security. It's only breaking the standards.
Added "allow users without referers to download in DB" to todo list . That will still keep anti leech intact for those who do use referers, which should keep it effective.

As far as I know Norton replaces the referrer with some random crap like "----------------------------".
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

RE: Can't Download The Scripting Documentation
If you are sure about that and Norton always sends the same referer, then i could simply make a rule for that. I'll do some googling later today i guess .
Also people who have Norton or any other dodgy software for blocking referers, turn it back on and check if it works too.
If it doesn't work... Come back to this topic and click this link: http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/referercheck.php. And tell me what that pages says, what browser you're using and what kind of software you use to block referers (if you know).
