Limit the number of times an attachment can be downloaded?

Is there anyway you can limit the number of times a member can download an attachment?

I have a protected forum where only members of a certain usergroup can download attachments. But I suspect people are giving away their login info so that their friends can download as well.

Im hoping this hack could still be made, and how much overhead to the forum are we speaking, it would only be a few extra queries wouldnt it?

No, I'm talking more about the storage overhead, You'd have to store each member, and how many times they downloaded it, on a very large site this could be alot of extra storage and querys.
