Martin,
So, can't we create human friendly urls that redirect to the download
url so they still get tracked?
Cheers,
Josh

It is possible to create a redirection, the problem is that we have this
download url so we can track a count. If you want untracked file
downloads, those are already available in
the /media/resource/file/$filename urls.
