Hi there,
This is not possible on WordPress.com, but on a self-hosted WordPress.org site you’ll be able to install a plugin to do this.
You can see here for more information on WordPress.org.

Hi there,
You could use a contact form for this, but there is no way to “automate” the process of downloading the file once that information is submitted. You would need to manually direct each person who responds to the location of the intended file. Here’s more about setting up and using a contact form: https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
Let us know if you need more help with that.
Also… be aware that any file you upload to a publicly available site will also mean that the file itself will be searched and indexed by search engines. If this is not something you want, you may consider hosting the download file on a different service, like dropbox, box, icloud, cloudup and the like.

Doing it manually via the contact form is a good alternative, yes.
Thanks for mentioning it, @justjennifer :)
