Making a download limit for visitors?

1
Hi does anyone know a simple cookie code that records how many times a visitor visits a page, and once it hits a certain number (let say 6). It then blocks the visitor from further accessing the page?

A downloading limit of some sort, such as rapidshare.. once you reach a quota you have to wait a couple of minitues until you're able to download.

Thats what i'm looking for, but a simple cookie code for the visitors to presever bandwidth. :)

Note that if the user has JavaScript turned off or cookies disabled, it won't work. You need a more robust server-side solution, perhaps requiring your users to register before they can download and imposing a limit on their downloads.
