Use what everyone else said & dynamically add "name-of-download" as a part of url, so you'd have something like /downloads/3-name-of-download/. Take first # and forward that to /?dl_cat=3. If you're hell bent on that just having /name-of-download then you can do it in mysql and you'd have /?dl_cat=name-of-download and then you'd get id from the database. The first way is easier.
