How do I...create a counter for the number of downloads of a file from a page?

Howdy,

My web host gives me statistics to say a PDF has been downloaded x number of times. It also provides the number of "206" downloads, which I think are downloads that were cancelled.

Is there a way to get this number (complete downloads) directly through Everweb, either by grabbing it from my web hosting (doubtful) or some other means? Ideally, I'd like to place a counter on the website so people can see how many times a PDF has been downloaded, or a countDOWN counter to show how many free downloads are still available.

Thank you!

Dan

I did a search on this and it looks like there are many ways to achieve this. One of the things I came across was a thread on w3schools where a user replied that he leveraged the google api to show count.
Maybe look into that if you already have google analytics on your site.
