DISTINCT and multiple results...

Hi there... I'm trying to create a MYSQL query that does the following... I've a table that lists ALL downloads from our site. so I may have the same user many times, but different files, or infact, same user, same file. What my boss wants to see is: If a user downloaded a file 3 times, she doesn't care, she just wants to see that it was downloaded. So I tried using DISTINCT(email), but then I loose the data about the other files that they've downloaded How can I create a query, where I can list only one instance of email, per multiple instatnces of a file name. Does that make sence? I'm reallyu stumped...
