I have been searching for this for a long time, most of them only written in php or cgi or other languages, I'm looking for something that written in asp, and able to show the # of downloads on any web page.

any help would be great.. thanks in advance..

for Q1

this would take a long time/ coding to empliment in the forum.

for Q2

create a database that stores ID and hits collumns and set it up so when someone clicks the link to download a file it goes to a page and adds one to the value in the database hits field.

Giving you a total download count (dont link direct to the file go to a page with an ID and depending on the ID use the certain URL (download file).

add use the onload command to link to the file or you can use a binary read to make sure no one goes direct to the link though the address bar.

hope that helps .. i am eventually going to make a application for download (when i get to it)

forgot to mention when that is done you can then on the page that you want to say ..Downloaded xxx times ...

add a query to get the hits value from the database for the selected ID value.
