What I’m driving at is that why does it matter what the URL is as long as people get to the resource?
As for ensuring users get the raw file, make sure to grab the url from the details view of the resource in question (inside the media library, click the item in question and see the right-hand sidebar) and use that.
That will point directly to the resource. No plugins needed.
Hope this helps!

I am talking about 100s or 1000s here, will there be a problem?
