Chris I am unfamiliar with the Middle East where online service quality is concerned.
If your download was for a file that was 500 megs up to a full gig of data, what would the expense be to you to download that file?
Further to that, what would the cost of the download be, if say it failed part way through and you had to do it twice? (assuming that the sender would only charge once of course).
Here my service costs me 45 bucks a month, but that is based on a 5 gig upload 5 gig download max per month. So say I go a gig over budget, I just spent another 8 bucks on my service.
8 bucks is 8 bucks regardless of who gets it of course.
Being able to download a file is just an option, but not automatically a good one. And then you have to put it on a cd for safe keeping, so add the cost of a cd. And should you wish it, there is the cost to print out a manual (again should you wish it).
This is why I am not of the opinion myself personally, that being able to download a file is necessarily an option.
And people without broad band likely don't even consider it an option actually.
