 * Is it possible for Delightful Downloads to insert a random string instead of 
   incrementing a 4 digit number for the download link?
 * If it is not possible, is it possible to adjust the increment format, in otherwords
   to obsfucate it for instance: /?ddownload=xyz1234xyz

 * Can somebody please answer this, if your selling downloads anybody can easily
   spend a few hours and figure out all your download links with the current random
   3-4 numbers. Links need to have several random numbers and letters or at the 
   very least it should have like a 10 digit random number 4 numbers is not enough
   for security purposes. Plugin author please reply how can we change the id number?
