One way would to have the user log in to access the download site. You could
add a cfif to the application.cfm file that if they are not validated then
they cannot access the site, maybe send them to a login/register page. You
could also add the cfif as an include in your pages and once again, if not
logged in, then have a redirect. If the user log in, set a client variable
that times out after a couple of hours so that they are automatically logged
out after that time period of inactivity.
These are a couple of ideas which I have implemented, and I am sure that
there are countless other ideas that will follow.
