Download protection is essential if you're selling or intending to sell downloadable products.

You may already be aware of the risk of products being stolen from your thank you page, if not be warned!Â

It is estimated that over half of all ebooks and software in use today are stolen copies, with a large percentage of these being taken directly from the vendors thank you pages.

The cost to Internet marketers & software developers is astronomical, free copies devalue your products worth & eliminate the possibility of up sells or resales.

So how can you stop download theft?

To start with the vast majority of thieves & hackers are not very sophisticated, they will perform searches for product/download or "product/thankyou" etc.

These people can easily be stopped by re-naming your download page to something a little harder to guess i.e. /jhwwe7733ger.html. However if you don't add a robots.txt to restrict the search engines from spidering your download page a simple site search "domain:website.com" will reveal all your pages including your fancy new download url.Â

This technique will stop the vast majority of free download seekers unfortunately though you still stand the risk of your download url being added to forums or illegal download Warez sites.

Hence Download Protection SoftwareÂ Â

Custom Download Software enables marketers to restrict the use of any download link using several protection measures.

Unique url's - As detailed above but a new link for each customer.
Timed Expiring Links - Have links expire after a preset time 24 / 48 hours
Link Use - Limit the number of times a link can be used.
IP Lock - Only allow downloading from the purchasers IP address.

By using only a couple of these features you can sleep easier knowing that the only people gaining access to your download pages are your customers.
