We have found that simply mailing a link does not stop monkey
business as once the download page is made known the URL
can be shared with anybody.
Sending the link in the mail should include a unique ID generated
and stored in the database when someone registers. The link sent
in the mail points to a script that compares the ID sent with the link
with the ID stored in the database. If the IDs match the download
can continue, if not, a 'sorry charlie' page is displayed.
I've coded this type of security solution several times over using
ASP if you decide it is going to be hired out.
