You might have seen at some highly visited forums or Websites that the images on a particular page or thread does not show up, instead you get a small thumbnail saying "Bandwidth limit Exceeded" or a message saying " Stop Hotlinking images from my server you fool !! " . this happens when the uploader of image uploaded the image  on a host like imageshack.us or he/she stealed the image from someone else’s Blog/Website without re-uploading it on his/her own hosting .

In any case the user /viewer is the looser as you might be searching for some information desperately and when you reach that page , the desired information is not there ( I know it feels hopeless and frustrated) but using the solution I provide here you can easily bypass Hotlink protection and you can see that image . Do not do this everytime as it will be hurting some webmaster somewhere but do it only when you need it badly .
