I have a site that allows people to download a file, however, i would like to collect there email and live validate before they are allowed to download the file.
Please tell me there is any script like this available?

Live validate is going to slow things way down. Why not just force them to enter an email and mail the download link to that address. If it isn't valid email they don't get the link.
You can crank it up a few notches by masking the actual location, using expiring links with a one time download feature.

there is any special script for this.. or use simple form way to do this.
Sometimes, emails don't reach due to traffic or other problems and get delayed... in that case email the download link is not a good idea.

The only real way to validate an email address is to send an email, and have them respond (by clicking on a link, replying with a custom subject line, etc.) Given that, you may as well just send them the download link in the email. There's no faster way that also truly validates the email.
