would like to know if anyone could tell me how i can implement this to download files, rather than displaying pages.

Read the file in using the file system functions and them just stream the download to the user.
PHP Code:
if ( $user_logged )
{
$file = 'dir/the_file.zip';
$fp = fopen( $file, 'r' );
$file_data = fread( $fp, filesize( $file ) );
fclose( $fp );
clearstatcache();
$filename = 'name_of_file_you_want_it_to_be.zip'; // needs correct extension
header( "Content-type: application/octet-stream" );
header( "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$filename" );
echo( $file_data );
}
I didn't read the article, but I think this is what you are looking for...
