Hehe. You have to use streams anyway so the obscurity is the random 
filenames? :) I think it's rather a pros.
For me with 100.000+ filenames its better just not to have filenames. 
Think about duplicates, national characters, too long file names etc :)
Its not helping at all - it is only a problem.

But this is your project :) Good luck.
