Hi everyone :)
I'm looking for a kind of meter in order to post the number of downloads on my website.
For exemple: vlc.exe >> 812 downloads (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
Does anyone know how i can do this?
Alex

Uploads module will also handle downloads counting if I remember correctly

Thanks for the link but "uploads module" is not really a meter download... I mean i just want to post the number of downloads of one exe file. Do you know any meter like this?

The uploads module tracks the number of downloads for a file.  that's what it does.  You can then (I think) output the number of downloads in the template.
