Private download method

I've set "download method" to private. But if I manually enter into the address bar the _real_ URLs of the files I upload, they can still be accessed.

I've played around with file permissions, but since the owner of the files I upload is "apache", I can't differentiate between Drupal and any other user. How can I make the uploads completely private, invisible to those not logged in to Drupal?

Thanks :)

RSS feed in Aggregator2 but NOT importing each post as a new node

Because I don't want to flood our website with first class nodes from all the blogs we might aggregate, I don't want Aggregator2 to import all the full content into our database.

Aggregator (4.6 core) does exactly what I want in the sidebar block, it sends clickers to the original site. However, Aggregator2 does not do this, instead it takes clickers to the imported node in our site, which sucks and is hard to theme.

The issue is that I cannot use Aggregator because the blog in question is an atom.xml feed and only Agggregator2 will handle it.

Am I hosed?

How to rearrange the posting area layout

I hope this is clear. In the area where I create content - pages, story, or book pages - due to the annoying length of my categories, the actual posting form is almost at the bottom of the page. It's a ton to scroll through. I want to know if I can make the following changes and how and in what templates I would do that. I am using the Fancy theme.
