Bandwidth = no. of bytes per unit time

Originally, you asked about "number of times a file can be downloaded". That sounds like you wanted to make a scalar count of the number of downloads and limit it to, say, 10. So the file would be inaccessible after 10 downloads no matter if the 10 had been downloaded all at the same time or over the course of several days. That would be an entirely different thing. It's like the difference between the range and the speed of a car...

Controlling bandwidth means you want to limit the number of concurrent connections and/or the rate at which each client is served. So go to http://modules.apache.org/search and search for "throttle". That will get you started.

Now I'm even more confused... Are you talking about controlling access? (ie, you don't want someone who gets a copy of the mail to access the file?)
