perhaps file_transfer() itself could do the redirect for public files? 
also, does anyone else think that adding a redirect for every image 
node might cause poor experience for users on a high latency 
connection? imagine an image galle	ry page with lots of image nodes. I 
wonder if we are not sacraficing user experience in favor of some 
server processing cycles.
