Yeah we have anonymous ftp, but I just tried an http download with an 18 meg file and it was fine. The "small" cgi you mentioned is roughly what's happening except there's also an admin side so our guys can create accounts, set logins/pw's for downloaders, let's them assign the ftp'd files to the login, shows them brief reports about selected accts; users see their page with instructions, are informed this file and link will expire in 10 days (space savings). Auto email to our admin that it happened, configurable email to downloader thanking them and reminding them of the 10 day thing. etc.
