I'm using a shared host. I want to have a directory for each user of
my site where they can download a file unique to them. I wanted to
use basic authentication, but learned that can be slow when number of
users reaches just a few hundred, and I plan to have a few thousand.

I read about the mod_authn_db* modules, how they are better for many
users. However my shared hosting provider doesn't let me use it.

What's a good alternative to mod_auth_db for having many users, and
letting them download one or more files from their account directory"
