    Use Google Analytics or check your stats for that page AWStats or something.

    Yes, you just need to code the page using server side scripr, PHP or anything that you master which asks the user to enter their email address before downloading.

    As the previous post said I would create a form, this is quite easy to do in HTML and there's hundreds of tutorials on the web to help if you search Google.

    The question is how you would like the information to be stored. You could generate an email link on the button of the form i.e. when they click submit their email address is emailed to you, at which point you could add it to your own list. That should be able to be completed in HTML. Obviously that's fine if you're not getting a lot of clicks but if you are then it would be a lot easier to set up something in php which would link to a database. If you've not done that before it can seem a bit daunting, but again doing a quick search of Google should pull back a huge amount of answers to help you to create this on your site.

    The other option is to use something like a third party mailing list software. I believe that would provide you with the code that you'd need to plug in to your website and would then save all of the email addresses for you. The best of these third party options do cost money however, though usually not too much.
