I honestly think, that at the end of the day, the most simple, straightforward way would be to speak to Sly and get him to set you up with a small bit of server space.
Then you would be able to give the user and pass to the people who are gonna upload it, and use any decent free FTP program to download it at your end...
It shouldn't cost a fortune cause its only for the odd transfer and you wont be running a site from it.
Its really not a complicated process at all. I know you might not be familiar with it coming more from the production side, but its really very simple.
Once you are connected to your server via FTP you basically have 2 windows open in front of you. One window shows the file on the server, the other window shows a folder on your computer. Simply drag the file you want across to your computer folder. That's it...
The file will download itself, securely, and should the program get terminated unexpectedly, say a power outage or whatever, you can just start again and it knows how much has been downloaded so it just does the remainder...
That would be the 'proper' way to do it - Without using third party services which imho, are not really necessary if you have someone to rent you server space and get it set up. Once its setup, it's done then, and you don't need to worry about it again. Just open your ftp program next time you need a file, files on the left, drag it to the right... And walk away.
No need to overcomplicate.
