  1. Disable directory browsing on your webserver.

  2. Why make it inaccesible? That would be a problem if you ever have a bad link.

    You can better create a index.htm file in /downloads that redirects to some custom error page, or to another page (like /downloads/file.txt).

    It would work the same with only one question mark, also.
