If the content is identical, why do you care where people download it
from? Is the question is about not using bots against your site? That
sounds like a TOU question rather than a license question. Or does it
have to do with other content on your site that won't be released
under the license? That can be handled with metadata or well-placed
notices.

Anyways, AFAIK, no, there's no way with the current CC licenses to say
"you can download it from here, but not there". Then again, I am not a
lawyer, this is not legal advice, I don't speak for Creative Commons.
