This wouldnt be hard, although to make it work they would have to register otherwise cookies and sessions are the only option and people can get round that easily.
If they are signed up, then make a field in the table thats called "BytesToday" then each time they click a download add to that "BytesToday" limit, every night reset everyones "BytesToday" to zero.
Do you hide the origin of your downloads with a PHP script like this:
PHP Code:
<?
function dl_file($file){
//First, see if the file exists
if (!is_file($file)) { die("<b>404 File not found!</b>"); }
//Gather relevent info about file
$len = filesize($file);
$filename = basename($file);
$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));
//This will set the Content-Type to the appropriate setting for the file
switch( $file_extension ) {
case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;
case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break;
case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break;
case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break;
case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
case "jpeg":
case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
case "mp3": $ctype="audio/mpeg"; break;
case "wav": $ctype="audio/x-wav"; break;
case "mpeg":
case "mpg":
case "mpe": $ctype="video/mpeg"; break;
case "mov": $ctype="video/quicktime"; break;
case "avi": $ctype="video/x-msvideo"; break;
//The following are for extensions that shouldn't be downloaded (sensitive stuff, like php files)
case "php":
case "htm":
case "html":
case "txt": die("<b>Cannot be used for ". $file_extension ." files!</b>"); break;
default: $ctype="application/force-download";
}
//Begin writing headers
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
//Use the switch-generated Content-Type
header("Content-Type: $ctype");
//Force the download
$header="Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename.";";
header($header );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".$len);
@readfile($file);
exit;
}
dl_file($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/downloads/file.zip");
?>
Email me for more details  i have that on my website and it works nicely.
