Creating a redirect thankyou.html from PayPal to a...

page that would house a downloadable file. The trick is that it needs to be generated as opposed to a static HTML page that could be copied and pasted, and the download stolen.

Essentially what you would be using paypal IPN, and detect if the submission is coming from paypal or not.

Instead of a redirect page, you could use the paypal IPN to send the user an email with a link to the download.
