What about using mod_auth_mysql to add/remove usernames and passwords
from 
the download server in real time?

Why not? As long as it works without blowing your server memory that is 
fine.

The only problem you may have is when the users resort to download 
managers, as this way they won't be able to stop and resume later. If 
you play with the HTTP headers and fseek, that can be solved too.
