You're going to have to do it server side - client side is just too
risky, both for you and the client.

My suggestion is to set up a simple database with username, password and
any other information would like to collect. Have the users login and
use a server side script to redirect them to the download page.

With that said, it's also a good idea to look into SQL injection and use
best practices to prevent it.
