Topic: The Banana Bar / How does UserScripts Track Number of Script Downloads??

No psyched... Counter goes on incrementing whenever someone accesses script with URL ending .user.js extension...
Act I have seen download tracker where a file is kept on a sever say download.php, then all URL rewritten like download.php?url="original_url"
Then download.php usually updates a database table for entry "original_url"

This way URLs on site redirected. I hate this approach as its not fullproof. Also redirection is visible and makes URL dirty! :-(

So thats why I was wondering about userscripts way of tracking file downloads!
