Maybe the message with somewhat a "signature" to complicate things a bit and avoid most of the "fake" hits.But, seriously, I just wanted to make it less than trivial to use. ItYeah, who needs simple stuff?
shouldn't be as easy as opening
http://cygwin.com/downloadstats.cgi?apache to register an apache download.
Although, actually, you do need a bit more than that -- at least the version of the package and the mirror it was downloaded from, and it would also be nice if all the packages were included in one http connection, rather than 50 separate connections for 50 packages (the POST method comes to mind).
The passthrough script above is something like what I've mentioned as having written already (which you so graciously snipped from your reply). ;-)
MD5 code, that should be already into setup.exe, comes to my mind...
