OK im not Linda the great but i will try and help!

How secure is the downloadable feature within Oscommerce ? 
[color=red]Not sure what you mean, all the downloads are held in a folder in the catalog directory, so they are as safe as any other file. Just set the right permissions, someone else might be able to give a better answer on this one[/color]

Are all the downloads held in one directory ? 
[color=red]Yep as mentioned above[/color]

What is the process that the purchaser takes to get to the download i.e. is the link emailed to them or do they click a link after purchasing. 
[color=red]After the order is complete you are returned to the succes page. There is a link to the download on this page, also you set how long the link etc is valid for and the customer can log into there account within the time you specify and download the file they bought at a later time if neccesary[/color]
Will the downloadable feature work ok with Worldpay ? 
[color=red]It is not tied into the payment, so yes it will work with any payment provider, the worldpay mod works well[/color]
Are there any people using this system for similar shops ? [color=red]Yep there are, look through the live shops section, i am not but i did set it up on a demo site[/color]

There is a page on HOW TO set up downloadable products in the wiki!
