Managing and Presenting File Downloads

I'm new to Drupal and there are several things I like about it so far. I'm testing and learning Drupal 4.7x and 5beta1 on my home machine before I deploy it when 5 goes gold. I assume that I'll be able to learn enough about Drupal to make good use of it before 5 leaves beta. (I'm assuming only a few months - is that reasonable?)

ON to the question:
My current site (http://stilltruth.com) is built on Wordpress which is now "too small" for what I want to do. I host several ebook type files which I want to organize for download according to any number of variables:
Who compiled it,
Who authored it,
What type of ebook is it (commentary, Bible, classic literature, etc...)

Because files are being added all the time I would love it if I could somehow auto generate all of this instead of manually coding static pages 3+ times a week.

Additionally I'd love to have a download basket type of function where a user could browse through and click check boxes on the "books" they wanted to download and then initiate a download with a single "Download now" button.

Summary:
Is that kind of download work available in a known module or out of the box for Drupal? I do not know PHP or much about SQL though I can do a moderate job on HTML and CSS. I've been investigating a few of the modules like attachment and filemanager but haven't yet found what I'm looking for.

Please provide any suggestions you might consider helpful to me.

What do I need to get my drupal website look like this one?

Hello, I am new to drupal (1 month) and cannot find how to make a complex website like www.rakeback.com.
Here are some questions:
Which modules are needed at first look?
Where is the code for each page to look as it looks? I mean the boxes of which every page is made.

How do I change the font on the form box

Mail problem - emails not sent to users (with password)

Hi, I've had a few problems installing my first shot at using Drupal, but managed to overcome all but this one, so I'm hoping someone could help out.

My hosting company hasn't upgraded PHP to support the latest release of Drupal (they have 4.3.2 installed) so I tried installing 4.5.7 and managed to get it working fine, with the exception that emails aren't sent to new users when they register or request password. Given this is fairly crucial to what I want to use Drupal for it is a crippling problem.

I've searched the knowledge base and found comments that this could be down to how my host handles the email function, so I emailed them asking about the problem, as the SMTP module isn't supported by version 4.5.7.

My host got back to me with this info regarding mailing:

>> Limitations

If you use scripts to send email from a website, please be aware that:

- all outbound email is routed through our outgoing email servers
- we limit the number of emails you can send in any thirty second period and any ten minute period.

>> PHP on Windows

Use the PHP mail function and set the mail from using the following line of code - replacing email@mydomain with the correct domain name.

ini_set("sendmail_from", " email@mydomain ");

-----

The problem I have is I'm not tech savvy enough to have the first clue how to integrate this information. I can handle editing code and have phpmyadmin installed to manage the DB so I'm comfortable making changes, but I'm at a loss here.
