Downloads should be working now

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

My download counter broke today. The counter uses a flat file to store the clicks and links.

With the high volume of downloads that I received today the file got corrupted and as a result the downloads gave an ID error.

I’ve restored a backup, which means unfortunately I lost a lot of counts

Anyway, it should be functional now. I plan on shifting to a counter that uses mySQL database or alternatively just write a plugin for the same.

Don’t know the time frame. Need to brush up my PHP skills first

I didn’t even get a feeling that you track all click, your link seemed like a no counter one.

Anyway, Thanks for that link

I track only the downloads on my site.

I’ve modified the code in the counter to lock the file to prevent this happening. No crashes so far, but a regular backup is what I am doing.

Lost of a lot of clicks in the downtime

Ohh, and I’m using mod_rewrite for the downloads.
