Am I missing something, or is install no good?

Please advice.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the problem - are your users getting a popup which tells them the location of the file, so they then know how to bypass the system?

Several questions:
- Are the downloads coming from your site or another? Normally, files with recognised mimetypes on your site should not produce this popup.
- Have you changed the setting of force_redirect on the links admin page - if this = 1 then your users will get to see the file locations
- Are you using the local_file_root setting on the links admin page to place the downloads outside the web directories, to prevent anyone from getting at them except through the links s/w?

If these suggestions don't help, pm me with more details of your site.
