1. Secure in what way?
2. Just try it out and you will see that it goes waaaaayyyyyy faster than normal.

Secure so that only people from my server can download it and not the whole world

Well if someone gets where you are hosting your files from, yeah anyone can download them. Dont think you can stop that from happening.

If you download file after file (like one "loading" bar for every single file) you are downloading from the server
If you download everything at once (one loading bar for ALL the files) you download from the HTTP host (downloadurl)

Well I always thought it was a server bug, my best guess would be that when you download from the server, the server tells you to download file 1, then you reconnect to the server, it sees you don't have file2 so you download that too till you have all the files. (you always stay connected to the server, shown as ingame)
When you download from a HTTP host you seem to get the full list of files, connect to the HTTP to download and then reconnect to the server when finished. (You disconnect from the server, so other people can 'steal' your spot while downloading, when the download is done you join the server again, you just don't see it)
