# Statistics - Fileline 1.x documentation

> Downloads per day, the most downloaded files, versions and referring sites on Downloads → Reports, and the dashboard widget.

Fileline counts every download. Fileline Pro also keeps them **per day**, per version and per referring site, so you can see how downloads change over time.

## Downloads → Reports

![Downloads → Reports](https://storage.extendiment.com/media/976/screenshot-5-c049a233.png)

Choose a **period** (the last 7, 30 or 90 days, the last 12 months, or your own dates) and **all downloads** or one, then click **Show**.

- **Downloads**, with the change on the period before.
- **Per day**: the average.
- **Busiest day**.
- **Sites sending visitors**: how many other sites the downloads came from.
- **Downloads per day**: a bar chart. Point at a bar for its day and count.
- **Most downloaded** (for all downloads): click one to see its own report.
- **Versions**: downloads per version, to see how many people still get an old one.
- **Where visitors came from**: the referring sites. "Your site, or a direct link" counts downloads from your own pages and from emails, apps or bookmarks.

A download's **Access** box links straight to its statistics.

## The dashboard widget

The **Downloads** widget on the Dashboard shows the last 7 and 30 days, a small chart and the five most downloaded files this month. Hide it from **Screen Options** at the top of the Dashboard.

## What's recorded

Exactly what Fileline counts: no bots, no resumed parts, and repeat downloads only if Fileline counts them (see **Counting and privacy**). Fileline Pro records one total per day, download, version and referring site. Only the referring site's name is kept (such as `news.example.com`), never a full address, and nothing about who downloaded. Days follow your site's time zone.

Statistics start when Fileline Pro is activated; the download counts from before are in Fileline's totals.

Reports and the widget are for editors and administrators (`edit_others_posts`; change it with the `fileline_pro_reports_capability` filter).
