Possible to block excessive download from same IP?

[AndyGroom]

My server is prone to automated download tools. Is there any way to monitor for excessive downloading from the same IP address and block it for an hour before unblocking it again? Or is there any other solution to this problem?

Hi

I would try googling for httpd download limit then using the first result...

I did not use it, but looks good.
