A very simple addition to this module, would be to have it count the number of times each attached file is downloaded.

A further enhancement would be to track which users have downloaded the file(s) when possible. This should be a list of users in a log screen, and a list of files downloaded in the user screens.

Disknode is supposed to be a replacement of the upload module providing this feature, but does not work without the upload module. I have submitted a bug report on that, but it seems that improving the core upload module to offer download tracking would made more sense than having a separate module.

Thanks.

I agree that this functionality should be added. In the meantime, you can try this module : http://drupal.org/project/download_count

This should be a list of users in a log screen, and a list of files downloaded in the user screens.

The name (and referral) of the user (and time of download) are provided in the logged message (watchdog) but that information is not recorded anywhere else, with download_count. But perhapse it can fill your need for the time being.
Download_count does keep record of 1- total number of downloads and 2- Time of the last download. In nodes and/or a dedicated Download Center page.
