That was originally my idea when I setup the restricted sftp-only access. A link (e.g. dropbox, megawhatever, etc.) can be distributed "too" easily.

Here, if I want to stop distribution I just e.g. delete the file or change the password, etc.

The only issue may be resuming a stopped download (which can happen if the connection is slow. My VPS bandwidth can vary from 64kbps to 10+ Mbps). With the standard sftp client you can use "get -a file.ext" to resume downloading.
