You'll need to serve the file through a server-side (CGI) program.
That program can read from a counter to see if additional downloads
are allowed, then write to the counter after a download has been
initiated.

I see. Would PHP work as that server side language? I am thinking so.
You can create a PHP counter, so... hmmm.

Thanks for the input.
