Would you happen to have access to the server's Apache access log? If 
so, finding out how many times the video was downloaded should be easy - 
simply run grep on the log and count the result:

grep FRvsP2.ogg /var/log/apache/access.log | wc -l

This command assumes that that is the path to your vhost's access log 
and that the video is the only file containing that string in the name, 
and will print the number of times that file was accessed (aka 
downloaded in whole or in part).

While this is at best an estimate of how many times/by how many people 
the video was watched, I think most other counters are no better, as all 
available methods miss and/or double-count /something/.

Even if you don't have direct access to the log, you might want to check 
for availability of awstats or a similar log-based stats tool.
