Thanks for the other recommendations!

peter_budo: that looks cool, but seems like WAY overkill for what i'm trying to do

if this can indeed be done with a simple php script, can one of the admins please move this to php as mexabet...

Does anyone know how I can count how many times a pdf has been downloaded from my site? Maybe someone has a php script or something that does this?

Thanks!

Dave
