[Zope] Zope.org Feature Request - Product Download Counter

[Andy McKay]

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...
