Good questions:

1)

if not db(db.auth_group.role=='users').count():
     db.auth_group.insert(role='users')
auth.settings.register_onaccept=lambda form:
auth.add_membership(auth.id_group('users'),form.vars.id)

2)
Not sure what you mean by file renaming. Can you explain more?
To keep track of downloads create your own download function

def download():
    ### log the download, filename is in request.args(0) and user in
auth.user_id
    return response.download(request,db)
