Take a look at aspSmartUpload (http://www.aspsmart.com), this also offers
downloading with which you can specify a path outside the webroot.

guess a file name to download).  In order to access the files, the 
database would link a file to a unique id, so a page that validates 
the user would then give access to the file stored outside of the www 
on the server.  Now, this is where the real question lies.  How is 
this possible since the files are not in a www accessible path, since a
mere link to a file won't due.
Any thoughts would be welcome.

Hi there.

According to your files sizes, could you consider using binary fields in
your database ?
