Re^4: Encrypt files on server and then decrypt when user downloadsby Anonymous Monk |

If the files are encrypted with a user-supplied password/passphrase/public key, and decrypted by the server on download, it would give a fairly good balance between security and convenience. The attackers, if they get control of the server, could then only decrypt the files the users download by sniffing passphrases.
