Description: Torgo Counter is a multi-platform compatible counter that is a simple text user counter. It creates one file and supplies the same count for each page. It was mainly designed to count overall hits to a site, not to count hits to individual pages.The special thing about this script is it won't count a single user multiple times. Most counters will count each individual hit to a page, so if a user visits your site, and accesses 10 different pages on your site, that individual will incrament the counter by 10. If everybody does this, and at the end of the week your counter says 100, you really can't tell how many individuals accessed your site. This counter logs the last users IP address, and doens't incrament the counter again until a different person with a different IP address accesses the site. This way if a single user comes to your site and accesses 5 pages, the counter will only incrament by 1, and if another user comes and accesses 23,592 pages, the counter still only incraments by 1. Which makes this script ideal to count individual users, not total hits. The only downfall to this method is if multiple people access your site at once, and go through mulitple pages at the same time, it may end up counting multiple hits between the users.
