You can use Google Analytics to track internal/external links:

If you don't want GA, then use a link like this on your site:
   http://yourdomain.com/redirect.php?url=http://otherdomain.com/file.exe

The redirect.php script can update a counter, etc and then send a
HTTP redirect to otherdomain.com/file.exe.


You can also check how Source Forge does their downloads.  They
maintain stats of every download even when it's served through mirrors.
