Php Tracking Large File Download Count

I have a php site am trying to track number of times my downloads get hit using the following code:

                //update download count
                update_attachment_counter($attachment);

                // We'll be outputting a PDF
                header ( 'Content-Type: application/pdf' );
                header ( 'Content-Disposition: inline; filename="fileName.pdf"');
                header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($attachment));
                readfile ( $attachment );
                die ();

I am seeing my counters go up multiple times per download. My attachments are anywhere from 2 to 30MB in size. Does it make since that I am seeing multiple requests per download? How do I only track each download once?

Due to the large file size, I am getting partial download requests. By checking for HTTP_RANGE I was able to determine if it was the original request or the partial request:

if(!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE']))
{
  .... update counter
}

See using php to download files, not working on large files?
