Create an ASPX page that'll download the file to the user.
Example. http://www.servername.com/getfile.aspx?filename=3928393293

Now you can still use form authentication.

Make sure in getfile.aspx to set your Content-Type and Content-Disposition
properly.

I did a similar thing for a client that wanted images sent from an AS/400
computer to be displayed in a client browser, but only if a valid user was
logged into the system.
I also made sure that 3928393293 was only valid for the user that requested
the image and that 3928393293 could only be used once. Some users bookmarked
the URL but the client didn't want that.
