This needs to be directly disabled in Apache, which means creating a .htaccess file and stop requests with external $HTTP_REFERERs. I doubt any host would let you do this, and if they do, I have no idea how.
Anyway, I don't want you to find out. The Internet is about freedom of data, information, speech. It's corporate bloodsuckers like you that's killing it. I have an extreme loathing of you kind of people.

What do you mean by "linking to them"?
Put this into the HEAD command of a page to open the fullscreen window when the page loads. If you'd rather have it open when someone clicks on a link, try:
The link goes here
Be sure to delete the spaces between open and ('bigpage to make it work.

Whats so wrong in me not wanting other people to steal my links they are free to download them and then upload on there site. I spend hours trying to get them all ready and then uploading for another site to come along linking to my files and taking all the credit

Should you care? You're still helping people. Besides, they'll just transfer the file on to their server instead, there's nothing you can do to stop the spread of information on the Internet if you put it up there, and that's how it should be.

In the real world, bandwidth costs money.
Try having a site that has alot of hits and your hosting company starts charging for excessive bandwidth usage. And when you decide to examine the server logs you find that alot of your bandwidth usage is due to people directly linking to your files. In effect, you end up paying to host features of another person's site. :)
Please don't tell me this is acceptable behaviour or that you wouldn't be annoyed if it happened to you.

Besides, there's no way to stop it, other than to just NOT host the files. People will either directly link, or link the the page which is possibly even worse.
