All of this COULD be done but you are talking about editing downloads.php. If you know PHP, the change would be relatively simple. Look around line 511 for the text $newfilename to change how the file gets named. You'd also need to modify what happens when the author edits the entry.

As far as making the author optional, a better solution would be to change the submission form to automatically place the username in the author field. That would probably require a change in the template.
