On our servers, the following UAs are blocked and similar repeated requests against large iso files can be rejected:
map $http_user_agent $isbadbrowser { default 0; "~*Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android)" 1; "~*Chrome/49.0.2623.87" 1; "~*Firefox/3.6.3" 1; }
According to our experience of operating largest mirror site in China, such User-Agent list is able to protect against most of those traffic, IP blocking is not needed and the list didn't require an update for several years.
Great to know. I have just implemented it with your suggestion. I will monitor the traffic for 2-3 days and see if it works.
thanks epe
