If you really want to prohibit the usage of download managers, you
should do this server side.  So don't give a direct download link to the
file resource, but instead to a script that will pass the file contents
through.  Signal the client that range requests are not supported by
sending Accept-Ranges: none, and respond with an appropriate 4xx status
code, if a Range header field is contained in the request.

However, this would be OT for this newsgroup, if you won't use a server
side ECMAScript implementation to do it.
