If you're looking for a directive like:
MaxNumberOfDownloads /wibble/file.avi 100
it don't exist :-)
However, the data on file downloads is all in the logs so it could be done. You
could look to see if somebody's written a third-party module (see
http://modules.apache.org/ or google).
If you were really intent on this wacky scheme, I would handle the whole
download scheme via a server-sided program (CGI etc.)
I have to say the whole idea sounds a bit fishy to me and rather mis-guided.
What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to control the number of copies
of your file in existence, like a "limited edition"? If so, be aware, each
client can make limitless copies after they download it...
