Makes sense... I'm interested in this thread because I think it would be handy to keep track of 'number of downloads' of various file types - for example, to build a list of 'most popular downloads', etc. It seems like perhaps, using the Catalog for that makes sense?

We wanted to enforce some rules that had to be enforced before someone could get to a File. For instance, you had to register, or you were on a list of beta candidates, or you had to come from a certain page, or you wanted to record a log of who got to it, etc.
When this was done there were no ZClasses, so it was a pretty heavyweight activitiy to make a slight customization to enforce these policies.
