odd ?

one of my websites has a bunch of images on it. is there a way of telling whether or not anybody's actually downloaded the images to their computer?

i'm not very educated on the stats page/access logs etc.

as on the client side, in order to view the image file. it is downloaded on the client's computer already.

I don't think this can be done in this case. When the image loads in the browser it is already on the user's computer. "Save image as" then copies the already downloaded image to another location on the user's computer.

I only know HTML and PHP, but I'm guessing you could write a code in another language that places a "download this pic now" message on the site, and then it saves it to the user's computer while also keeping track in a file on the server how many people have done that.
