    Using GoDaddy cPanel and Advanced Web Statistics 7.0 (build 1.971). I have a download section in my website that has a mix of .zip and .exe files. In AWstats under Top 10 Downloads there are only two .zip files listed. There are 4 files available in my download section and the .exe is not showing up in the Top 10. The files are listed further down in the section labled Pages-URL (Top 25).

    In most cases, a .exe is a cgi script, so a page, that's why it is not reported as a download files.
    You can change this by editing parameter NotPageList

    Ok, so this needs to be set as below in order to show the .exe files as a download?

    NotPageList="css js class gif jpg jpeg png bmp rss xml swf exe"

    Sorry for writing to the old thread, but the problem is still there with 7.7 (build 20180105). I use it on my shared hosting on HostGator.

    In the "File Type" table, AwStats mentions .exe as the "Binary runtime", so it cannot be a page. But particular .exe files are listed in the "Pages" table, not in the "Downloads" one. This is at least inconsistent, regardless of the NotPageList settings.
