You could also look at the server logs if you don't mind a delay in the reporting.
Ade -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 January 2006 13:22 To: CF-Talk Subject: Tracking downloads of mp3 files I have a site where I have a series of mp3 files for radio hosts to download, for their radio shows. I want to track who's downloading what. I have a simple stats app that keeps track of who goes where, based on teh cgi info and their login information, but it doesnt record the links they click on to download the mp3 files. So currently all I know is that user X went to page Y, but no info about what they did there. The links are currently just simple html links to the mp3 files, and I'm thinking the way to track who's downloading is to make the links to another cfm file that serves up the requested file, posting the data to the statistics table at the same time. And how does this second file start the downloading of the requested file? Is this the best way or is there a better way that I havent recognised yet? -- Cheers Mike Kear ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
