Good spot. Note that I did a double take on 'nonce' since I've only seen it as (UK?) prison slang for a sex offender. My thinking now is that if you are going to have to set up something on the apache side of things to handle nonces then you may as well find an apache-side download counter that increments on each GET. What not to do is to grep access_log every time you want a count. Especially if you have one of those 'Downloaded 634234 times' badges. Ick.
