I'm interested in this too...maybe someone has a better suggestion, but what I've done is put files for download in the "files" directory and then link to them on pages with something like <a href ="./files/myfile.pdf">link</a>.
Disknode creates nodes for downloads. It also allows you to attach files to different node types (e.g pages, blogs) for downloads. I was hoping for something that allows me to have the download link within my content, like an inline download. There are other modules that you can try as well, search for "file management".
you may want to see IMCE image/file uploader http://drupal.org/project/imce. latest version can work standalone and allows inserting both images and links inside textareas. you can view the demo at http://drupal.ufku.com/imce-demo.
note: directories are created relative to drupa file system path. if you want to use the root path, just use /
Thanks, I always thought of IMCE as only for images, I didn't realise that it works with regular files as well (although I guess its intuitive). Gret work! I think that this is exactly what I want. Hopefully it can help the original poster as well!

I just saw the disknode module which seems to create a node for files to be downloaded. I'm going to try it out.

Enabling the Upload module
Enabling the Upload module was the step I needed. Thanks all.
