Any possible solution depends greatly on whether or not you control the Website.  If you haven't already, you might consider trying your favorite Web search engine for hints or a complete answer.

Yeah, my website overlord (GoDaddy) wants me to hire them to program it. I would have thought the analytics come with the purchase of their product! In addition other vendors (even the so-called FREE ones) want me to paste their scripts into every one of my web pages... and we wonder why/how hackers get into our assets.

ILC's needs are minimal and to avoid using corporate severance-ware, we just search site logs. A WinBatch script of fewer than 30 lines is sufficient for that. It simply provides information about downloads which helps determine the direction of software development.
