-__FILE__ in PHP means the filesystem path to the PHP script being executed. This is not the URL path, but the filesystem path. So it will not be ''http://login.sdf.org/download''. It will look more like ''/sdf/arpa/tz/l/login/html'' and using the dot concatenation operator will tack ''/download'' to the end of it.

 It's your call, but I like to let people know I'm tracking downloads. Even though I'm not gathering any personal information with it, I like to be transparent about it. I put it in a privacy statement on my site and even offer a link to the PHP query that shows what's been downloaded.
