I am happy to report they did go ahead and create a text link for use that does track. In adition, there is also a direct download link associated with it.
I have tested the standard text link with a campaign and could see the results in my stats instantly so this is a good sign.
I have also tested the direct download link with a campaign, and that too showed in my stats instantly. (I do have a question associated with this portion, but will create a new post for that so I do not confuse the great response to this affiliate need)
