To answer the original question, it's really quite easy. Take your favourite server package (I like twistd and nevow for speed and security, but the learning curve can be kind of steep.) Create an index page that pulls the list of files from the database/filesystem/wherever-you're-choosing-to-store-them and generates download links. Each download link should contain a nonce sized to make it extremely difficult for someone else to intercept a paid-for download and snag a copy themselves. Download link goes to a page which uses the nonce as an ID number and provides a bitcoin address to which payment may be sent. Upon receipt of payment, page unlocks and provides file for download.
If you want a plain-Jane, looks-ugly-but-works standalone server application that functions as described above, I could be convinced to put one together for you for a couple of bitcoins.

You have to create a user. But I think this might help.

I believe StrongCoin offers a method to do this as well:

This is very helpful. Now to get my PHP skillz up to par so I can actually use it.

Out of curiousity, neither Ubitious or BitcoinService.co.uk are suitable?

Is http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/ no longer working? Anyone able to contact the owner and get it functional? I just get a blank page for the download link.
Has anyone used Ubitous? I just tried it, and it says in order to raise the price of your item, you have to send them Bitcoins. I did, trying to bring the price to 1 BTC. However, it's still showing a price of .02 BTC. I sent the 1 BTC last night so it's confirmed.
How easy would it be for me to set up a pay per download site that only accepts Bitcoins?

I didn't really know those existed. Thanks though, that's perfect.

I know very little about setting up websites. How easy would it be for me to set up a pay per download site that only accepts Bitcoins? How could I go about it?
