file transfer

[silverstar]

hi,
i was wondering, is there a free file transfer
that lets you put files up and then
shows you the number of downloads ?

I think send space does but thats not working for me
is there any other ?

thanks for any comment

A widely used one is rapidshare. You can create a free account and it will show the number of downloads but not who.

Why do u want to know the number of downloads?

[silverstar]

why not ?
its kindof neat to know just how many people
download something you ve put up there

If say you ve posted to a forum it lets you
know how active it is and how popular the
celeb or whatever really is

then, if you post just to one particular person
it shows up that theyve got what you sent

It's tough reading it poem-style.

You could try mega upload I think it can count downloads but im not entirely sure.

If you're tied by the upload host and it doesnt count number of downloads, you could try uploading a simple hotlink page to a free basic server like lycos or summit, then open up the html in word or notepad and add a counter code, (effectively whenever someone clicks on the url which links to the file on your prefferred host, a number will be added)

It might not be the most accurate way obviously because someone might click to go to the host file, but then decide not to actually download, or may not finish a download, which the counter won't take into account.

hotscripts dot com provides a counter script if you're interested

Yes, the only way i can think of doing that is what harvestthesouls is saying... I don't know about any free place that allows you to see how many times a file has been downloaded...
