How does Piwik track downloads?
On many websites, you want to track when visitors download your brochure, a photo, a software, etc. Piwik automatically track these clicks as Downloads, and reports them under Actions > Downloads. Piwik will automatically detect a download as a click on a link that ends with one of the following file extensions: 7z, aac, avi, csv, doc, exe, flv, gif, gz, jpe?g, js, mp(3, 4, e?g), mov, pdf, phps, png, ppt, rar, sit, tar, torrent, txt, wma, wmv, xls, xml, zip. You can also force Piwik to count a click as a download by using a specific CSS class for this link. Check out the section “Force a click on a link to be recorded as a download in Piwik” in the Javascript tagging Guide.
