Make all of your file content available only to authenticated users. I
think my guest user has an access string of LEVEL 40, so I made all of
my echo content LEVEL 50. If a guest hits the file areas, they won't see
anything. If an authenticated user hits them, they'll see the areas.

You could do something similar with the file echoes. Mine are wide open,
I don't have anything I need to limit access to - although the bandwidth
would be a pain to lose to bots.
