Answer 1

Get an aggregate COUNT() grouped by fileName. Sort in descending order by download count, and limit by the number of results you want returned (if necessary).

SELECT 
  fileName, 
  COUNT(*) AS downloads
FROM yourtable
GROUP BY fileName
ORDER BY downloads DESC
/* Optionally limit the number returned */
LIMIT 2;
