Then I suggest setting up a torrent instead of direct download. You can have protected torrents. I don't know how to set them up but I use them - there's a torrent site that requires I log in from the same IP as I'm running the torrent client from, for example.
A torrent is only fast or faster because you can get various pieces of the file from various peers or servers on the internet, simultaneously. I don't expect that people uploading their private photos of their girlfriends want them shared in any way, except with the eventual recipient. Paul
The point of torrent isn't speed - but because torrent is excellent at dealing with interruption in network before the download is complete, and far less likely to result in a bad download. In fact - I've used torrent to fix files that were improperly downloaded without having to download them again.
