Is there a way to support in PHP MM the idea of downloadable "assets" that once downloaded are "used up"?

For example, a user might be allowed to download a large zip file; once downloaded the asset is "used" and can no longer be accessed.

I suppose a short-term subscription could substitute to some degree (eg 3 days), but it's not exactly the same thing.
This is more along the lines of a download manager program. I imagine down the road having a file upload function in the admin, which then gives a unique link to download the file and records how many times it was accessed would do the trick.

Have a limit of downloads / accesses set for the file.
