Try first.
Ask specific questions, if you get stuck.

You can store it in database (Many options : Oralce , MSSQL, MySql) or in directory. It all depends on how you design your application. I am working on a web application for one of the college and I used both the ways according the requirements.

how to design database
>> Use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to create your database. It can generate diagrams also easily. Well, if you really need to use a design tool, then go for Microsoft Visio

>> where i should store the downloads items like Word documents etc.
I reccomend disk. Store filename/path in database.
