    I sent an email to their abuse email address, but haven't heard anything. Being that it's a free host, I doubt I will.
    Send them a letter on a fake law firm letterhead. Use a letter posted elsewhere on the web as an example.

    If it's just your zips, It would not be too hard to replace them
    with very large zips containing some sweet images or corrupt
    files. Don't want to suggest putting a virus in them. But it would make him very unpopular.

    Just a though!

    I believe the other guy who this happened to was rob whithey

    Good luck with roasting this POS.

    Have you considered submitting his email to marketing engines and porn subscriptions? Simple yes, but annoying none the less.

    I might also suggest making the files he linked into redirections..

    I had a problem where some forums were linking to a semilarge icon library on one of my websites, I used the .htaccess trick and it worked a treat. You could also just make it link to a blank file to minimize data transfer if you consider it an issue. (for me it was causing an excess of .5millon links per month)

    It really bugs the hell out of me when people do this crap.

    Yeah, rob had the exact same thing happen to him, and as most of the people here arent nearly as stringent watching their web log files, that its happened in other cases. Altho i have no clue why people do it. so they can show other people on the internet

    Ok, now this may seem a little naive on my part but, what does he gain from doing this?
