I've got a website that does a lot of traffic. I'm using awStats. It's slow as hell because we're adding ten million hits a day to it's database. We don't want to use an external logging solution because we've found that they underreport dramatically (by 40% in the case of Google Analytics). Are there any free stats processors that will be able to process lots of records AND have better drill-down capability than awstats? I have plenty of hardware to throw a tthe problem.

Web download tracking: I've got a bunch of (totally legit etc etc) binary files available for download. I have them linked from a server I run to a server I have space on but don't run. (The html is on my own server, the binaries are on the other one.) I want to track downloads of the binaries, but I can't get at the access logs for their server. What can I do on my server to track 'click throughs' from the html page to the binaries? I'd like it to be completely transparent to the client: they can wget, right click download etc etc but I just want to know when they initiate a connection to download from the binaries' server.
