probably worth me creating a s
Of course if all you want is stats on the file downloads and your
server does that anyway, why not just filter/ collect stats from the

knowing you have 10 downloads, but knowing the time, day, week, and
month can help in understanding your visitors better. If I do get to

Yeah, this is what I'm saying--that, if a date is required, then
simply incrementing a single field in the files table will not work
and there needs to be a downloads table. The bonus is that you
Well you could save each download with a date... and have a monthly
cron that runs, calculates the total for that month and saves it to
another table for monthly statistics, then erase all the previous
single date records. But unless your doing by day, week, time etc,
that wouldn't work.

An approach to this could also be setting up a trigger in your
database. This way you wouldn't need any code. You would let mysql for
example do the work for you. Then you can use a neat little trick in
mysql and call a "group by with rollup" and get the grouping plus the
count.
I hope that helps

There's never guarantees of having huge traffic but I do expect to get
a considerable amount, the number of files available will also grow to
several thousand within a year or so - there's certainly potential of
having tens of thousands of downloads per month.
This actually makes me wonder if I s

On the "download" action. I find the file in the database, I increment
its download count if it exists and then I use the Media view to force
a download. Your on the right track.
