BIG security problem downloading files....

on my web site you will have to login to see downloads etc.
However once the user logs in the file url is exposed and the end user can
bookmark the downloadable file and pass it on to others

is there a way to avoid this ?

thanks

..htaccess password protection will stop access to the files by anyone who
isn't authorised - whether they know the URL or not.
