Fossil does not currently support any kind of download counters.

Fossil might have handed off all of its content to the webserver (assuming

interrupted before it completes.  Fossil has no way of knowing this.
Looking a the server locks for www.fossil-scm.org, I see that this scenario
is not uncommon.
