Someone may have used one of those download accelerators to download the attachment. These programs use two or more connections to download files. This maybe the reason why your numbers are off ... to test my theory, install a download program (Like Download Accelerator Plus) and download an attachment!

I did try out the theory using GetRight and in my case, I downloaded a newly placed attachment and it only counted one download. Perhaps other download managers work differently but yes, a possibility since there are no external linking in my server log files.

As Boofo suggested aybe people download it twice or also another copy for backup or forget where they put it and download again, others may just download not remembering they downloaded already.

Thanks guys and sorry, should have thought of this possibility.
