It's really simple and I wrote several of these long time before, but I thought that there might be an option of serving the files w/o using PHP to read it and send the headers and chunks using only htaccess for the serving and PHP for the validation of the session.
There might be - I'm not familiar with such a technique though. You may be able to use php sessions to enter an IP into a database (or flat file) that standard apache access restrictions could use to determine whether or not to send the file. IE upon succesful login from 192.168.15.7 - that IP is added to a list used in an apache "allow from" directive. The potential problem I see with that is the IP address you associate with a session may be a proxy. But there may be solutions to that.
