Describe the bug

Editing the metadata or details of a project version increments the download counter for the associated file.

When the version edit dialog is opened (or when changes are saved), the system records a download for the file attached to that version, even though no file was actually downloaded.

This appears to be limited to one download per user/session, suggesting the download counter may be tied to session or account state. However, this still results in an unexpected download being recorded.

Steps to reproduce

1. Upload a version with an attached file.
2. Note the current download count.
3. Open the Edit Version dialog for that version.
4. Save changes (or possibly just open the dialog).
5. Observe that the download count increases by one.

Expected behavior

Editing version metadata should not increment the download count unless the file itself is actually downloaded.

Additional context

This can cause minor inflation of download statistics. While it only increments once per session/user, this behavior could potentially be abused to artificially increase download counts.

I think this is just because the cache is being cleared causing it to appear downloads went up, when actually the downloads were there all along
