I realize this is a very old thread, but is there a 2.9.0.beta.10 answer to this question?

Like the original poster, my organization would like to be able to count the number of times attachments are downloaded. Ultimately, a “top 50 downloads with counts” would be a target report.

I’m looking around in [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true), but don’t quite understand the relationships yet.
