Yup... the ZODB does grow with each hit. Not much of course, but some. I am sure for a site such as Zope.org it would not be unmanageable. They most certainly have automated ways of packing the DB. J

Of course the only problem with a hit counter is that high traffic requests mean continually writing the object into the ZODB each time it gets hit / downloaded, whatever. Thats why I release FSCounter which uses the file system. I would like to expand this to cover multiple objects...

It would be really nice to know how many people are downloading the products. This would also be a great feature to add to the actual Zope distribution. I know you could get this from the logs (easily) but you could also add a small counter to the product 'view' method, something along the lines of what is in the Simple Url products (BTW one of my favorites) and make it something you can turn on or off for your products.
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('hitcount', hitcount + 1)"> <dtml-call "propertysheets.public.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(url)">
Thanks, J
