Routing An Old URL For A File To A Controller / Action

Hi,

Currently users to my website download files from the
following
structure of URL:

http://thewebsitefortest.com/downloads/folder/filename
.dmg

I would like to make it so that when the user navigates to
the above URL
they are redirected to a controller / action. There are
however about 50
files for download so I don't want a route for each one.

I have tried creating a controller called downloads but the
file is
still accessed. I have also tried the following in
routes.rb;

map.connect 'downloads/:folder/:filename', :controller
=>
'controller_name', :action => 'index'

However this didn't work, the main reason for doing this is
that I now
want to keep track of downloads from my website using google
analytics
so I need a page to load in between, but, I don't want to
break all the
other sites that link directly to my downloads.

I have also moved the downloads into another folder, so
Rails must
evaluate the route but I just get no route matches errors
from the
above.

Thanks in advance,
Alex
