[support] Download Tools module or file counter module

[Jim Ruby]

I'll have a look at this, getting a bit complicated for me, but I would like
to get rid of some of the longer links and the sites/default/files link as
well so this may be in the works. I did see your other email about the other
module. Thank you for your reply.

If you do deep linking, your only help are the
webserver logs, since no java script will be
loaded. Analytics software also fails if people
block them (ghostery) or disable java script.

An alternative would be to use aliases or short
links and somehow count these:
