    This is just a thought but I'm not sure. It could be there to prevent direct linking from other sites. Instead they have to give a general link to your site so the user visits first to get a download link.

    Thanks baja....

    So, how will that be generated ?

    The file is stored in a separate location (eg: \secret\myfile.exe). When the file is requested by the user, it is copied to a separate folder (eg: \temp\myfile.exe) via server side scripting, then after that it is deleted(after a specific time). Is that so ?

    To be honest, I'm not sure how to approach the problem. I've done very little web programming so I'm not sure what tools and functionalities are available to you. It might depend a lot on the server side software too.
