I'm not aware of an existing plugin that does this, but you can use this one as a starting point. It tracks the number of times an entry is viewed. https://github.com/putyourlightson/craft-entry-count

An option would be to use Instant Analytics to send the analytics data on file downloads to Google Analytics where it can be viewed. https://github.com/nystudio107/craft-instantanalytics#tracking-assetsresources
