 * Hi,
 * Is there any way, the download monitor log can be minimized? Perhaps, give options
   to users to choose what they want to log? For our site, we don’t want to track
   anything except the download count.
 * But, the wp_download_log table itself has 4,679,182 rows and is 875.3 MiB in 
   size. How to reduce the size of this row. We have around 3 million downloads.

 * Hello Ravi,
 * If you just wish to track the download count, you can disable the log by going
   to “Downloads > Settings > Log (tab)”.

 * Thanks, Harish.
 * Can you give me a SQL query so I can clean up my existing wp_download_log table
   to hold only download count and nothing else?
