The easiest way to password-protect a site is to use HTTP Authentication, where if a browser’s request for a protected page is not accompanied by the correct username and password, the Web server replies with an HTTP 401 error – which means “Unauthorized Access” – and an invitation for the browser to re-submit the request with a proper username and password. From the user’s point of view, most of this dialogue is hidden. Following that first failed request, the browser prompts the user (in a dialog box) for a username and password, and then re-submits the request, this time with the authentication information attached. Assuming the username/password combo is on the list of allowed users, the Web server then sends the page requested. The Web browser will likewise continue to send that username/password with all subsequent requests.

Some file storage sites give you a download link which use to expire after a definite time , like 1 hour or 24 hour. MiHD.net is one like them. They allow you to download files hosted on their server without any limitations, but the download link will be functional for 6 hours or other certain time. Not only these file hosting servers, often many sites from where you can download movie or songs, impose this kind of time limitation to balancing load.
But surely you can overcome this limitation.

There is no nice or 100% effective fast way to verify an ISO image of any OS [normally *INX based OS] without installing. But there are several ways one can test the ISO image. If the test(s) are successful, there is a high (to me which is almost 100% ) probability, that the ISO is perfect to be burned in a CD or DVD which one is desirable.
