help on box.net download stats

[lfnfan]

Hi

I put together a spreadsheet a bit ago (based on Phantor Gorth's work) to help commanders plan trade routes. The file is currently hosted in the Wiki. I am curious to see whether it's been downloaded much, but know the Wiki doesn't provide this info.

I had a look at the box.net Lite website and it seems that if I use Google Analytics with box.net I will be able to get such stats. Can anyone tell me if it's easy to set up these two to work together, or if there's a better (free) alternative?

Thanks in advance.

Box.net on its own will tell you how many times a given file has been downloaded since it was last shared. All you need to do is log into your account there, and for each file you host you get such a count in the list of files.

But be careful, if you unshare and reshare the file then the count is reset, although it isn't affected by new version uploads.

nice one. Thanks Thargoid. for the heads-up on resetting stats also.
