Does it do anything else besides allow downloading of files?

I could use a download application that allowed some flexible options.
Things like:

1) Allow some files to guests, others only to logged in users (permissions)
2) Allow some files only after accepting some agreement, or "certifying"
    something via a checkbox (e.g., over 18, etc).
3) Logging of the downloads (who, when, success/failure, size, etc).

The above would meet my needs.  Other things might be alternative
download methods (ftp, http, webdav, samba, etc), ability to add
additional info or links for a file (link to help file or README file),
and other such things...

Would anyone have any interest in any of the above?  I think it would be
distinct enough from gollem to be worthy of being its own project...  But
I'm not sure if there is any real interest in it outside of just a few
people...

Also, while different from gollem, how much overlap would there be with
other content control/managament systems in the incubator, if any?
