As NeoSadist said be VERY careful about why you are doing this. You
might end up in a lot of trouble if he/she has not signed a usage
policy or something similar which states they cannot use the
network/computer for Peer to Peer, etc.

As far as I know it is not possible to know the filename of what they
are downloading as it is located inside a DAT file. There is a program
which can extract this information so if you have access to his system
while he is downloading you can map to the folder and then load the
file remotely and extract the data. This is the only way I can see
that it will be possible to work out the filenames of what they are
downloading.
Unless you can somehow cache the downloads using ISA server or
similar?! I guess it is possible but I do not know much about ISA so i
couldnt explain how to create a policy like this.
