[Imc-web] bandwidth hijacked

Our media gallery has had a few (very) hardcore porn videos (I keep
washing my eyes and the filth will NOT come out....UGH...*gross*) were
uploaded to our media gallery from some hosts in the netherlands and
we were getting HAMMERED with download requests from european systems.

I removed the offending files from the usermedia directory (but not
their database entries).

I also disabled the serving of "asf" files. This is a legitimate video
format but no one has ever uploaded one to our server except one of
these two porn files.

I have banned the IPs of the hosts which were hammering us.
