In checking my website stats, some of my download files which are for sale are showing up as viewed. This does not look right to me. These views are not sales and there are quite a few of them. Does estore provide any protection from spiders crawling the sites? Can these download files be somehow catalogued and accessed? Please advise.
You lost me there… what do you mean by “some of my download files which are for sale are showing up as viewed”?
Only eStore knows the location of your downloadable files and it will let someone download the file after a payment. spiders do not know the location of your downloadable files and cannot index it.
People often misunderstand how the whole thing works and get scared unnecessarily. This post might help you understand more:

My files are not on my website and my files have not sold, yet my statistics show they have been viewed. I continue to be perplexed. I have used this system before without incident.
Nobody in the world will be able to give you any meaningful answer if you don’t reply to a specific question. You keep saying “they have been viewed”… Can you please elaborate on that? What type of content are you selling? Are these downloadable zip files?
“my statistics show they have been viewed” – What statistic? Where are you seeing this? What are you using for this statistic that you speak of?
I will answer you privately.
