file transfer stats

I am looking to do the following:

Record multiple users uploads/downloads (especially file sizes)
anti-leech protection

What is doing the uploading/downloading (as in server software - this HTTP or FTP?)

For PHP, you'll have to have PHP read the server-your-interested-in's logs.

For anti-leech, you could use PHP to do this with a web server. With FTP you'll have to find an FTP server that supports this or build your own. You can use PHP to build an FTP server, but it would be a bit more overhead on the machine then if the FTP server was built with C/C++ or something.

Basically, we need more input in regards to what you want to do...

I am considering a php controlled environment, which would simply authenticate the user and allow for the upload/download of relevant files.

I have just been told that the files to be uploaded are to be encrypted by the client and sent via some client interface to the server, these files are then to be shared by other members.

In the past I have written a php file management interface, and initially I thought an adaptation of this would suffice, but now I am reconsidering.
