    Anyone know a plugin that can mask external links so users won't know what the real url is. I run a file sharing site and I want to hide links from users so they won't be able to steal links if they don't know the real url

    Hiya Ruriko

    You could try using the "Pretty Link" Wordpress plugin.

    You can download it from the WordPress plugin site here.
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pretty-link/

    I mainly use it to mask affiliate links in my WordPress blogs, but I guess it will work for you too.

    You can also track how many people click on your links from your dashboard. Best of all it's free.

    Hope this helps :)
