Hi Colin,

What is the security risk of hosting documents and letting them being 
downloaded?

As explained by Steffen, put them in some directory and (for example) 
use a file list plugin to render a list of files to be downloaded.

If you want to make sure only authorized persons are downloading your 
files (after authentication for instance), you may have a look at 
naw_secure_dl (again, just an example).

If you really need more than this, well, there are solutions as well but 
I don't want to talk about them unless you show that you need that :)

Regards
