As I said, I think this requires tight coupling with the web server, and I don't imagine I will have the time to do this

I have tested LDM with two download managers and it works fine with them. Basically, you have to select a download manager that transfers cookies to vbulletin, otherwise LDM doesn't know who is trying to make the download.

Why I need a download ticket system.
Because, my forum serves download. So, instead to have user posting to get 30 posts to download and stay idle thereafter, I need of a system that require people to post to download.
The ticket will based on how many post they have, let's say 1 ticket for 5 posts.
The ticket system should allow admin to set how many files is worth 1 ticket.
The ticket will reset its counter after awarding ticket. I mean, user who has been awarded a ticket will post 5 more to get another one.
The ticket system can exclude some of the forum id.

Is all this possible? I have seen a similar system being used but can't get the admin to response.

Something close to this is already available in the extras directory. It doesn't handle the counter reset though.
