Understanding Stats
I built a website for people to download my original songs for free. How can I know exactly how many songs are being downloaded?

Re: Understanding Stats
If you look at awstats in cpanel it should let you know how many hits you get on a certain file on your website. It may or may not show up there. If it does it will show the total amount of times the file was requested (Meaning it could show multiple hits for the same user). For exact stats you would need a script that processes the download and logs each download.
Register/Login Script
Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script -

Does the amount of bandwidth used have anything to say about how many songs (mp3 files) are being downloaded?Comment

Re: Understanding Stats
Indirectly yes, whenever someone either downloads of plays a mp3 it will go toward your bandwidth, but unless you can differentiate what bandwidth was used for mp3's and what was your website itself it doesn't tell you much.

That's not something that I can explain in a post. It's like asking how do I rebuild my car's engine. You will need to learn how to program in a web based scripting language like PHP, CGI, etc.
If you want to learn how to program in a scripting language check out a website like
If not either check hotscripts.com for an existing one, or post in the freelance forum and/or vodabits and hire someone to write it for you
