Ruth -- Not really, unless you want to make everyone who is allowed to get the files a Moderator.

Best practice is probably to place such restricted files in a separate group or subgroup...or if a Word or PDF document or something like that, you can password-protect the file(s).

Allowing only Moderators to download the file is fine, as long as everyone else can still open the file without allowing them to download it.?

A file cannot be opened without downloading it. Depending on browser add-ons, it may open as a temp file in a browser, and subsequently be deleted from the cache...but it's still being downloaded first.
