Here you can see how often your files are viewed, downloaded and how much bandwidth they consume. The buttons at the top can be pressed to adjust the timeframe. If you choose 'Day' the statistics will be updated periodically. No need to refresh the page.
A view is counted when someone visits the download page of one of your files. Views are unique per user per file.
Downloads are counted when a user clicks the download button on one of your files. It does not matter whether the download is completed or not, only the start of the download is counted.
This is how much bandwidth your files are using in total. Bandwidth is used when a file is tranferred from a pixeldrain server to a user who is downloading the file. When a 5 MB file is downloaded 8 times it has used 40 MB of bandwidth.
When a file is downloaded without going through pixeldrain's download page it counts as a direct download. Because direct downloads cost us bandwidth and don't generate any ad revenue we have to limit them. When your direct link bandwidth runs out people will be asked to do a test before they can download your files. See our subscription options to get more direct linking bandwidth.
