I am using the REFERRER method for a directory with only PDF files.  Blocking the files from hotlinking works fine but when I try to navigate to the files the correct way the page loads with an empty page. 

I am using the same method for a directory of jpg images and it works just fine. 

Windows Standard Server 2003 / IIS 6

Registered Version of Hotlink Blocker

Can you email me privately for that info??  Can you retrieve my email address from my registration or do I need to give it to you?

Actually it works as expected. REFERER protection method should not be used to protect PDF files and other content that is not server directly by a browser. You can use REDIRECT protection instead.
Or better always use LINK protection as recommended in documentation.

Changed to the REDIRECT method and everything seems to be working as planned.  Thanks for the quick response.
