Need Expert Advise - "Holonetworks"

[ignitionhost]

Hi,
You probably know, i'm making a new site, called Holonetoworks..
And i've been racking my brain to think of an idea, that makes the member do soemthing, before downloading loadsa free stuff...
I've come up with these ideas..

1) A forum, users have to earn a certin amount of forum cash, to download
2) A member system, before you can downlaod anything, you have to sign up
3) Just give everything for free..

Now i like (2). But i've no idea how, or (1) 'cause with shop hack (phpBB) you can't change it to have downloads .

What do you think..
If you can do any one of the posibilites, please post.
I've no idea how to do the member thing..
Thanks
Iggy :8
