Many sites need to serve files for download but if the files are directly accessible by whoever needs them, users many use scripts to automate downloading and end up overloading the Web site server.

This package provides an alternative solution to serve files for download without disclosing the real file paths on the local or remote server to avoid that scripts can access the files directly.

It can also detect when a file is being downloaded by a robot and refuses to serve the file in that case, thus avoiding to overload the server.

The class can detect if the current request is coming from a robot or a Web crawler script, so it avoids serving files for these requests.
