The simplest way is to set a flag via a cookie - very easy with PHP. Something
along the lines of:
if (DOWNLOAD)
setcookie('has_downloaded','1',time()+60*60*24*(number of days),'\');
However, knowledgable people can see through the cookies system and delete
the cookie from their PC, allowing them to download more.
As I said, it's only the simplest system...
