Download counter?

[egomeister]

I hope someone here may be able to help me!

I would like to add a download counter to some pages of my website to monitor how many people download a couple of files I have put up there - the problem is I don't have a clue where to start! All I would like to be able to do is add a line line "This file has been downloaded ??? times" after the link to the download. I have seached on google and found a few things that might be able to do this but I can't follow the descrptions of how to use them, I have no knowledge of scrpts or how to put them in a web page!

Can anyone point me in the direction of something that can do this for me? (At no cost!! )

Cheers!

this is the one I use, no adverts works well, just copy and paste the code they send, you do have to make an account but free to use

The posted counted is a page, not download counter..... very different beasty, take a look at www.hotscrpts.com/ you will probably find something on there

Thanks, i have looked at the hotscrpts website and downloaded something i think will do the trick (if i can work out how to use it!)

Maybe this thread should be moved to the computers forum now?

That site links to another site called FreakyDots which is an advertising placeholder
