Have the download link be an ASP Page that records the download in a database and then kicks the download off for the user. Alternately you could use a program like WebTrends to monitor that sort of activity on your site. Wushutwist
The other alternative(s) you have are this.
You can increment an application variable each time a user hits your site. This is the easiest way, but you restart your count each time your webserver is restarted.
ex:
in your global.asa
sub application_onstart()
Application("webcount"
= 0
end sub
Application.Lock
Application("webcount" = Application("webcount" + 1
Application.Unlock
Response.write Application("webcount" & " people have visited"
Your second option is to write to a txt file, and just increment that each time. Check faq333-504 for more info
you can always go the DB route to... it's all up to you.
