Re: Media View / Download: How to count finished downloads?

you can ONLY check if somebody starts to download
not if he stops it or finishes it

for counting just add the model method call before
you pass those vars to the media view

$this->Model->touch();
$this->set($params);

with touch() being your count method!

(in your controller action)
