Again as I said, the hyperlink is a direct third-party link. So, it
definitely would not reflect in my access log. You would better understand
what I mean if you think it this way. abc.blogspot.com contains a link that
reads http://filehippo.com/CCCleanersetup.exe
You can use Google Analytics to track internal/external links:

If you don't want GA, then use a link like this on your site:
http://yourdomain.com/redirect.php?url=http://otherdomain.com/file.exe
The redirect.php script can update a counter, etc and then send a
HTTP redirect to otherdomain.com/file.exe.
You can also check how Source Forge does their downloads. They
maintain stats of every download even when it's served through mirrors.
