I don't know which web building software u are using but with XSP I can go to page settings and set it so that spiders wont crawl the page. Cheers |

Robots.txt is a start, but not always as successful as it should be (someone can easily find this and Tweet your download page, for example). DLGuard is the most-recommended for on-site download pages, as far as I know. I'm pretty fond of E-junkie myself, but I can think of a lot of circumstances where someone might want to host the download page on their own site. |

You can have a .htaccess file redirect the page to a page of your choosing, but make sure you use a 301 redirect. Or you could use .htaccess to password protect the page.
