I use nginx to serve files, to provide some hotlinking control for my PDFs and to do split tests on my free trial executables. (I should write about that some time -- fun, fun stuff, but rather harder than web page split testing.)
To save anyone else doing Rails/nginx some pain, I copy/pasted the important bits to a pastie. Feel free to use them. In particular note the Content-Disposition header: if you forget it, you will regret it, particularly if you're a fan of urls /that/do/not/have/extensions.
