update-site

I have a plug-in that I am distributing via an Eclipse update site. I want to track how many times it is being downloaded, and preferably by whom.

For regular pages on my site, I can use Google analytics. However, Eclipse doesn't use any HTMLs when going for update sites.

Is there any way to do this when I don't have access to the hosting apache?
