Some may disagree, but wrt/ the needs you seems to have, I'd rather 
leave Plone alone and stick with plain Zope. file [up|down]loadz, Wiki 
and like functionnalities are available outside of Plone, and building 
simple content management is quite easy (have a look as EpozDocument for 
a simple WYSWYG editable page base componant).
