Try using the CFCONTENT tag.
The link would look like http://mydomain/sendfile.cfm?name=1.zip
Inside the template sendfile.cfm you have code like this:
<cfset PathToFiles = ...
<cfquery name="GetCounter"...
SELECT HitCount
From...
</cfquery>
<cfset Counter = GetCounter.HitCount + 1>
<cfquery name="UpdateCounter"...
UPDATE ...
</cfquery>
<cfcontent type="application/x-zip-compressed"
file="#PathToFiles##URL.name#" deletefile="No">
Nice and simple.
Hope this helps.
