How are downloaded Songs counted?

[DominikFFM]

I have a question to the spotify Team: If I download songs and listen to them offline is the number of times I listen to the song still counted? Or does it just count as one click? In other words, is it bad for the artist if I download the songs because it costs him/her my clicks?
