Looks nice.

All I can think of is a quick custom 404 page or some less cryptic exceptions rather than the PHP errors/notices when a file is not found.

Suggestion: file deletion? private? (This may be abused?)

404: Great point, I should add a 404 - regarding errors, I need to catch these better in the next release.

File deletion is in the pipeline, with user registration. And also file download stats.

Private files might be a good idea too, maybe forcing people to fill in a secret password first before being able to download?

That's what I was thinking. However, maybe people shouldn't be posting sensitive files up there in the first place anyhow. I just worry when someone randomly guesses a link and stumbles upon an "sensitive" file.

Maybe encrypting a file with blowfish too?
