I once had a location-based file sharing service that also got blacklisted by Google with no recourse. I hate Google trying to police the internet with no timely appeals process.

I wonder though if you could simply just block the Google crawler and bypass it. Or use a JavaScript to auto-POST something before the file gets sent for download. The Google crawler doesn't issue POST requests as far as I know.
