  I've love to but I know from personal experience that I can't write a 
program to save my life. :-)  I might give it a shot anyway sometime...

  It would be a little more involved than this.  I'd have to write a script 
that can assign a file a point cost when it's uploaded, then have the 
downloading script refer to that and a user download record to see if the 
user has enough file points to download it.  Hrm...  It would be quite the 
project.
