This all is much to complicate and resource hungry. Simply dump the raw article (plus meta info) into a CVS system and let the user fetch the files with a simple "cvs up". And a simple shell script (awk/sed/python) can fetch the local CVS files into the database.
Also rsync can save bandwidth as we all know.
Otherwise your solution looks interesting.
