Hi all, I am doing a PoddCast. Is there any way I can know how many people downloaded my audio files? I post direct download links in my website. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

If you have a good (or half decent) Web Hosting company, then they keep track of this. All you need to do is to ask them how you can get online, log in and then take a look at the record of your "hits".

Tell your web host's tech support guy exactly what you want to do, and she/he should be able to walk you through it. Also there are tutorials on the web about how to read and understand these "log referrer files" -- I think that's what they're called.

Good luck ... RB
