counting downloads

How do I keep track of the number of times a file on my site has been downloaded? Do I need to add some special html to my site or is this done automatically?
Thanks.

Just do a search on google for 'download counter script'.


Simplest thing..

You could do as khatfield suggested and install a download script, or you could examine the raw Apache logs, which can be found in your home directory at /logs/yourdomain.com/http/

Another option would be to simply use the Analog stats package that is enabled by default on all domains. You can access this by browsing to http://yourdomain.com/stats/ or via the panel at Status -> Site Statistics, then clicking on the link for the relevant domain.

Great. That was what I was looking for - thanks!
