First of all, I hope you changed the password from pass123 to something else. If not, do so immediately.
I would also like to suggest adding a folder inside the cgi-bin folder and move the 6 Top20 files into it, changing your links accordingly, especially after this post-for security reasons.

As for the scanning function, I wouldn't worry too much about that. What that's for is; say you have a folder on your server that has 100 download files in it. Instead of having to add each file manually you would set the parameters for the scanning function to look for that folder and it would automatically add all the files to the list.
Since you only have one file, and you've already added it manually, the scanning function is irrelevant to you at this time.

Now, to get the count to see the file; I assume you're talking about the MixTape zip.
In order for Top20 to count the downloads for that file, where you have (I've added spaces in the link to avoid it actually being a link) <a href= "http:// www . underworlddon . com/ Dj_Don_Mixtape_ Vol1.zip">[Click Here]</a>, change that to (assuming you entered the file id the same as the file name, otherwise change accordingly) <a href= "http:// www . underworlddon . com/cgi-bin/new folder name-if you choose/download.pl?file= Dj_Don_Mixtape_ Vol1.zip">[Click Here]</a>.

If you want to show how many times the file has been downloaded on the page, you would add this <script language=
"JavaScript" src=" http: // www . underworlddon.com/cgi-bin/
new folder name-if you choose/stat_js.pl?stat=Dj_Don_Mixtape_ Vol1.zip"></script>
under the download link (or beside it-your choice). You can also add font tags around the last link if you want.

Hope this helps.

Well, first of all-let me ask, did the recommendations I made in the previous post work?
Whether your counter is working or not will determine what else needs to be addressed.
Did you change your password (very important)? Does the Admin page for Top Downloads work? Do you get a proper download count in the Admin page or on the download page (if you used the code to show the download count on the download page)?
If everything works right then there's no need to worry about the other entries, except for the 'check http referer' which I changed to my site home page rather than the proxy2.de page, although I must admit-I'm not sure what that's for.

Since you're not using the scanning function, the last 2 elements aren't important, but will need to be edited if you need to use this function-which at this point I don't see a need for it's use in your case.
