Does anyone know how to use WFB to collect Name and Email from a site visitor then automatically send that visitor a free ebook? I've searched this forum without finding any autodownload function. Thanks in advance.

There is no auto-download in WFB. At least not yet 
You could do several things for the auto-download... you could just include a 'link' in the conformation e-mail you send the user. Just put something on the form stating that they will receive the download link in an e-mail.
Or here is a free script... http://www.stadtaus.com/en/php_scripts/download_center_lite/

You could also take a look at Coffeecup's Lockbox. It would be awesome if they made some kind of direct integration script to work with the form builder. You should be able to use the confirmation to share the file with the user.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Here Adrian redirect to this script. I have not tried it but it will find the last entry in a csv file, you set the position of the email address starting with zero. Create a file whatever.php to redirect to, it extracts the address emails and should display the link to be clicked on.
I am gradually assembling some code to explore for back ends to forms, When I finish a current project I am on I will test and refine the scripts I am collecting.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
$file_handle = fopen("http://phpsnippets.webatu.com/Decision/storage/csv/results.csv", "r");// the address where the file is located
while (!feof($file_handle)){
$item = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
if($item=="")Break;// make sure the last entry is used
$lastitem=$item;
}
fclose($file_handle);
$email= $lastitem[*];//* is the position of email starts with 0 then 1 etc. <<<<<<
$message="link to download";// add download link
//send mail
$subject="ebook";
$email = $email;
$message=$message;
$send_mail = mail($email,$subject,$message);
if ($send_mail)
?>

$send_mail = mail($email,$subject,$message);

Thanks Prism. Our resident csv expert comes through again.

All this hassle, wouldn't it just be way easier to include that in the reply email when someone fills out the form? Alter your reply email code and add that part in there with the link and you're done. No emails needing to be grabbed and sent to and redirected etc. Just a thought

Kind of thought that was what I suggested at the start of all this

yeah that's why I posted, because it's the simplest solution and he seemed to not see it or realize it maybe?
