Notifications during a file download As a newcomer to Drupal 7, I'm trying to understand how auditing and events can be used together.  

For example, I have a content type of document, which is basically a name field and a file.  I would like an email to go out whenever an authenticated user downloads the document and also have a report that shows how ( and when ) downloaded the document.  Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way ( modules, design patterns, etc ) to go about setting this up?

Thanks in advance
Download Count can produce file download statistics.

Additionally, because Download Count has Rules integration, you can create a Rule that will send an e-mail when a file is downloaded.
