Dude, 80 MB's is not really much at all. The script worked right? Otherwise you could be looking at a few dozen gigs depending on the image.

Don't see why this is something to get worked up over.
 
if nothing else just have the error script point to an invalid file name. Then they just get their default browser error message and you have served virtually no data to the leech (the practice to deep linking is sh|tty, don't get me wrong).
 
Just do like some peopl eand change it to a picture of male genetalia. THen move the rela picture somewhere else with a different name so your site isn't affected.
