I take it you mean you want to have these downloadable files available on your own site?

Yes, you have to upload the files somehow (ftp or otherwise) - there are plenty of tools available for handling file uploads and I didn't want to get into the security issues that these create.

You reference these files either using the full URL (http://site/directory/file) or starting from the root directory of your web site (i.e. /directory/file). The second case will tell users the file size immediately the link is created; the first will give the size only after the first download. The location of the file is kept hidden from your users, so it's semi-leech-proof.
