The current engage player is probably only the first of many UIs which will expose these links for download (alternatives could be other players such as Paella, mobile apps, RSS feeds, etc.).
Our current analysis of downloads shows that students download a collection of mp3s or mp4s all at once, probably for offline or off-campus viewing later. So we're not going to get anything more detailed than the fact that they were downloaded - referring here to complete downloads (http response code 200) rather than e.g. progressive download with a series of partial-content requests (http response code 206). So it seems logging via static is a more robust approach than adding it to the engage player.

That's probably easier, and gets you more detailed student behaviour traces, than logging stuff from static.
