function download($id = null) {
    $download = $this->Download->findById($id);
    $this->set(compact('download'));
    if(!empty($id)) {
        // increment the number of items downloads 
        $this->Download->save(array(
            'Download' => array(
                'id' => $id,
                'counts' => ($download['Download']['counts'] + 1)
            )
        ));
    }

    header('Location: http://localhost/tet/files/'.$download['Download']['filename']);
