Default Protecting downloadable items

I am building a website that I will sell a downloadable product and am trying to figure out how to protect it. My thought is to redirect the individual to a succesful payment page using the PayPal option for this and having a download link on this page. However what is to keep somebody from just saving the url as a favorite and giving it out to everyone. I need a way to only make this page available by PayPal redirect. If there is another way to do it I would appreciate any input I am sure this issue has allready been dealt with by many. I think what I am doing is very common. Thanks in advanced

Your best bet is to manually send the product to the customer as soon as you have recieved his payment. He can wait a little while. As soon as business builds up, you
can invest in a automated script with a download protecter. Just like the one below...

Thank you for the info I will probably get this however I have another question. I just realised that an affiliate could easily log into that page repeatedly if they had the url. Asuming you put the source code there for the affiliate credit. I am using the PAP that comes with the Vodahosting and was wondering if you have a suggestion for this. Maybe the same type of software that protects both my download and my affiliate code.
