Nice, although a right-click on the link adds a download.
Yeah, there isn't really a way to do this with javascript and avoid that. Unfortunately, javascript can't tell if you right click and hit "save as", so I have to detect right clicks when they happen and assume that they indicate an intent to download a file. It's not perfect, but since some file types require that they be right clicked to download them, I have to do it that way.
As a suggestion, maybe you could write a custom script, use mod-rewrite to hook any files to it, and count downloads through there instead? This will have the advantage of not having any weird scripts visible to the public, and will count the link rights (instead of relying on user click input).
It can't work quite like that, because I don't want to incur the processor overhead of streaming files through a download script. The best I could do is change the file download links to point to a script that counts the download and then redirects the browser to the actual download link, but the trouble there is that it would probably open a new page every time someone downloads a file, which is annoying from the user side. If I'm wrong and there's some way to do it without either of these problems (and without the downloader having to rename the file, which was really irritating), then I'm open to suggestions. :)
Just a quick note regarding my previous comment - If you understand the implications of waiving the anti-DRM clause on CC-BY-SA, I'm not trying to stop anyone from doing that (nor could I if I wanted to). Just be sure you understand what you're doing before you do it. :)
I see a trend appearing so I'll say this now: the anti-DRM clause is not just present in CC-BY, it's present in all CC licenses except CC0. It would be most useful to waive the anti-DRM clause for all CC licenses, not just CC-BY if you're willing. Thank you.
Allowing DRM kind of defeats the purpose of an -SA license, since it allows people to do an end run around the requirement that the content be shared. I wouldn't personally recommend waiving the anti-DRM clause on CC-BY-SA.
This submission and the two similar ones really should be grouped together as a single submission. If you look at the top of the page on your submissions, there's an edit tab there, where you can upload additional files and preview images.
I don't think you need to use any kind of standard wording for this. If you aren't using someone's art in your final game, you have no contractual obligation to include them in the credits, so I don't see why there would be any particular way that you "should" do it. The fact that you're doing it is awesome, and, as Redshrike said, I think people will appreciate it. :)

Got it, thanks. :)
So is this like tetris but with poop?

I waive the DRM clause on all of my own CC-BY licensed assets, as well as all CC-BY licensed assets commissioned by OGA.
