Answer 1

First, you need to make sure Multiviews (mod_negotiation) is turned off, otherwise it'll mess with the /download/ and /download.php stuff.

Then you need to externally redirect requests for download.php

Then you need to internally rewrite the /download/ requests back to the php file (the browser is oblivious to this happening.

Options -Multiviews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+download.php\?q=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /download/%1.html? [L,R=301,NE]

RewriteRule ^download/(.+)\.html$ /download.php?q=$1 [L,B,QSA]

The B flag may not be necessary. It depends on what kind of stuff you plan on putting in the parameter. The flag ensures that special characters get encoded.
