in thread download tracking

Yeah, but a token thats valid for only a limited period of time would prevent the token from spreading too far. Even if you have a one-time use token there's nothing keeing someone from copying the file they downloaded to a friend (or sharing it with gnutella, or putting in on another website as a free download, etc...). So any "piracy control" that works by limiting downloads in inherently flawed.
