    Sooo, my new plugin AdminPanel is i think getting downloaded a few times.
    But HOW do i know the amounts.... I want a direct download link, which can count how much it is getting hit.

    How do you do that? Using Dropbox atm.
     
  2. You can see the amount of downloads if you use DevBukkit or if you let people download from your GitHub page.

    How...?

    For example: https://github.com/Pandemoneus/MobTrigger
    There is a download button at the top right side. When I click on it, there is a little line saying "Add a new download…". Then you can upload there something and link directly to that.

    Another way if you host on Dropbox etc:

    Create a bit.ly account, and shorten your download link, and then link it in with the thread. It not exactly the number of downloads, because people may of clicked wrongly, but it's literally the number :)

    I talked to a couple of mods about Bit.ly and they said you can use it but they think user wont like it but i dont see the problem in it. just a counter that leads to dropbox

    well it'll redirect. Im talking about bit.ly, not adf.ly, i thought only adf.ly is blocked?

    Try Mediafire it gives you a download count and doesn't shorten the url.

    Yes, but no about how many downloads you get in a single day. Not trolling, pointing out.
