Downloads dont count when it is an external link

[Stiffler´s MoM]

When i link to an external download-page, the counter is still at zero

Hi, yes, this is a feature of internet, you cannot count something which is stored on other server. The count needs to be done ot the server where the files is stored. See more explanation in this forum.

We cannot count this? I think that we can. It requires only a link redirecting to external file which will increase download counter.

Hi,

link redirecting to external file

this is planned (parameter which will add the direct link to external link and redirect link to count the files)

Hi, there is no problem with coding it (it is easy - like by direct files - just load the file to the system and make the redirect), the problem is time (find time to do it )because some code needs to be changed, some new parameters needs to be added, and translation, etc. (all this twice because there are two versions - one for 1.5, second for 1.6 )
