How to track downloads?

I am using Woopra manually (i.e., by sticking the JavaScript into my hand-coded
HTML), and I'd like to track downloads for certain links on my site. Is there a
way to do this? As for now, I don't receive *any* download data from the Woopra
client; my web-site receives only a few hits a day, but I *know* that there have
been downloads, since I have downloaded a few of the files myself (to install a
little utility I wrote on my computer at the office). Ideally, I'd be able to do
something like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="SOMETHING HERE">
Here's a cool file
</script>

or equivalent for the links that I want to track, but I'd settle for having all
downloads tracked. Advice appreciated!

Woopra tracks downloads by default, you don't have to add any special code to the script. If you manually built your own website, make sure that you are not suppressing javascript events, or having some errors.
If you would like to test things manually, call the following function when a user downloads a file, something like:

<script type="text/javascript">

WoopraEvent('download','somefile.pdf');

</script>
