generally not a great idea to have apache capable of writing files
anywhere except to maybe a non-executable temp file system which is
probably not what you want to accomplish.

It might be easier to have a form that someone fills out that sends an
email or creates a row in a database prior to downloading the file but
the methodology would depend greatly on the type of code that the side
is using (i.e. perl/cgi, rubyonrails, php or static html) and what the
hosting server is permitting you to do. Might be a good thing to ask
your hosting server.
