logging downloads

[Øyvind Isaksen]

I need to log how many times one spesific file is downloaded from my
website. First I thought this could be done simply by routing via a script
that count number of downloads, and then redirect to the spesific file. But
this soultion will not work when a user right click on the file/link and
choose "save target as...". How can I solute this?

Best regards,

Ummm... IIS logs this as part of the web site log.

It will show in the webserver's logs everytime it is downloaded.

Thanks for your answer! But, how do I "use" this log?

Also move to the IIS groups, it doesn't involve ASP.
