So you’ve written some WordPress plugins and now you want to let your readers know about them?
The WP Download Counts plugin lets you do just that. It adds a sidebar widget which retrieves a list of your plugins and displays them along with the current download count (updated every 15 mins) and a link to each plugin’s listing in the WordPress Plugin Directory.
Features include:
<ul>
<li>Minimal configuration required – just a title and your WordPress username </li>
<li>Plugins listed in order of the most-downloaded first.</li>
<li>Plugin information cached for 15 minutes to minimize overhead</li>
</ul>

With this plugin, you can gather statistics on clicks for file downloads or any other link across the site.
To insert a file download block, use the <code>[download url="any file URL"]</code> shortcode.
The plugin does not include additional tools for uploading files. All files must be uploaded using the standard WordPress media uploader. The URLs are then used to create the download block.
Additionally, the plugin includes:
<ul>
<li>A button in the visual editor for quickly inserting the file download block shortcode.</li>
<li>A customizable widget that allows you to display a list of “Top Downloads” or “Top Link Clicks.”</li>
</ul>
