theres a very simple command you can enable that restricts this and doesn't allow folks to access http thru anything except a valid web browser. This would stop programs, like my script, from just grabbing the maps and not loading the pages that generate ad revenue.

Other "pay sites" currently out there charge you to access their main site but have nothing in place to stop folks from sucking down their content (like item databases, etc). For instance, the same script could be generated in minutes to download all the available files from this site and use it to set up another site.

Like it or not, it's out there. If this is a concern you or anyone else has, protect yourself against it. It's quite simple and worth the effort if you generate revenue from ads etc.

About 20 people downloaded the script while it was. Please don;t redistribute the script. Muse has put alot of works in to his maps and he doesn't wish for his maps to be obtained this way.
if you have already used the script to grab his maps, go to his site and spend about 10 minutes clicking thru to where the maps are. It won;t hurt you and it will help him.

Have a good one.
