 * Firstly, thanks for the amazing plugin! It’s everything I’ve been looking for.
   I just have one small problem left, I want to block all downloads without referrer(
   user entered file url in address bar or browser does not send referrers). Is 
   there anyway I can do that with WP-Filebase?

 * I unchecked the box “Accept empty referers”, but still I can download without
   referrer (copy link to the browser address bar)
