Comments.Text: Shanan, sorry for grave-digging but did you ever make a plugin for this? I'm exploring implementing similar functionality and am still a baby when it comes to plugin development. Any sort of ideas for a head-start would be really helpful.

Comments.Text: Kirk, this was for a project that would have brought an EE install over to Craft. To date, they haven't pulled the trigger on making the switch, so we haven't had the occasion to create the plugin. That said, I'm also a baby when it comes to Craft plugins.

  You can track the number of times a file has been downloaded using the [Asset Count](https://github.com/verbb/asset-count) plugin by Verbb.
  
  As the readme shows, rather than linking directly to your files, you’d point the link to the plugin’s controller action:
  
  ```html
  <a href="{{ actionUrl('asset-count/count', { id: file.id }) }}" target="_blank"></a>
  
  ```
