    I like that guest can downloads files, but i want to limit because all
    days have lots of them.

    You could use the credit system:
    Those files appear to be free, change those directories to not be free and give the Guest account a set amount of credits to use per day (1 credit per byte). Of course, you'll never know exactly when downloads stop working for Guest and they'll start working again at midnight, so it's kind of a weird solution.
