Body: <p>Is there a way to get "vanity URLs" for my assets? Something like:</p>
  
  <p>www.example.com/download/asset.pdf</p>
  
  <p>rather than:</p>
  
  <p>www.example.com/several/subfolders/for/organisation/purposes/asset.pdf</p>
  
  <p>I know that dumping all assets into a /download folder will work but this is far from an ideal solution. Is there another way?</p>
