Is SharedFiles Download Counter can be wrong?

Hi Joe!

I have some strange thing:

I share some file downloads via SharedFiles component and look at Download Counter to have information about interests to this files. Some months I had about a 100 downloads per months per file (1-5 downloads per day per file). But last days I see that one file downloaded about 50 times at first night, about 100 times at next night & about 200 times at next. At the day time 1-5 downloads, but at night - so many! What you think about it? I don't think that this file has so large attention to it. Maybe if some one download with DownloadManager or something else? Or may be DB error? I try to download once - counter increased to 1 point only

Thanks

There are all kinds of non-human automatic bots that crawl the web clicking things and downloading things, they account for more traffic than real people on most sites.

To better analyze your traffic download the IIS web logs and review them. You can see the ip addresses that download your files and all the web requests.

Hope that helps,

Joe
