Download counter for forum files

Problem

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to gauge the popularity of some files which are downloaded from the forum. A similar feature exists for links.

Use Case

The primary use case example is the Community Resources section of the forum. I have posted a couple of resources and I have had very little feedback on them. It would be useful to know if people are downloading the resources that I have created or not. One can generally gauge the popularity of a resource based on download/likes ratio, although not everyone will like a resource even though they are using it.

Additionally, this can also lead to new badges on the forums for the number of downloads. One such badge would be Popular Download. The equivalent badge for links is Popular Link.

Conclusion

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my experience using the forum because then I would know if I should focus more on developing a specific resource that I know people are using rather than just guessing based on likes and/or replies.
