What do you mean by "handling" users in this case? If by "download 
manager" you mean something like wget or Download Accelerator for 
Windows; that's strictly a client app. As long as the webserver 
supports resumable transfers, the user should be able to manage his 
own downloads.

If you just want to make a file available for downloading, I find that 
a simple link will do. Something like this:

<?php
	print('<a href="http://www.foobar.net/download/baz.tar.gz">Baz 
archive at foobar.net</a>');
?>
