There might be some off the shelf module, but increasingly Drupal is moving towards legobrick style of using CCK and Views to build such functionality.
i.e.
Create a Download content type. You give it fields which give info on the download, make use of the filefield cck addon module to hold the files, and use the Content Taxonomy module to classify the each instance of a Download.
You can then build a view which will display all the downloads with a certain taxonomy term, and by setting the Permisions of the Download content type approrpriately you can only allow people with a certain role to download the file, whilw general visitors to the site can just view the info on a particular download.

Okay, I've got a problem... I added Taxonomy for Downloads like this
- Main Category 1
-- Sub 1
-- Sub 2
- Main Category 2
-- Sub 3
-- Sub 4
Now I try to make the view to show them. I need a view which shows all "categories" like shown above but I currently only get
Main Category 1
Main Category 2
Sub 1
Sub 2
Sub 3
Sub 4
And I need a second view where I can define "Show content of Main Cateory 1" and get
Sub 1
Sub 2
Can anybody help me?
