My general understanding is that when an uploaded file is easily identifiable by its filename and there is no password, the link is likely to become dead quickly. Server programs/robots/engines engaged in identifying copyrighted material over the web can easily identify them and remove them from the file server.
An uploaded file is likely to survive for long on the server if the given file name is little cryptic and is password protected. For example, instead of "Design of Steel Structures.pdf", if it is DoSS.pdf or better zipped as DoSS.zip and protected by a password (i.e the forum password) then it will have a much better chance of survival on the server.
