.htaccess issue

Ok I know I get fuskered on some old galleries. I have hotlink protection setup so when they try to view an image, they are redirected to my site. I have probably had 100,000 visitors from just that this year but it's worthless traffic. Freeloaders from foreign countries it looks like to me. Out of all that "free" traffic I never got a single sign up. Ok, in my stats area, I see this IP daily: 69.42.85.221 and it says that IP has accessed my site, but not visited my site. Is that probably the Fusker IP? The reason I ask is that I want to just block them alltogether. They are burning my bandwidth and not helping the cause. Is that a robot or something they send out to crawl for pics? How can I determine what IP address is in direct relation to www.fusker.lewww.com?
