download count listings
Saturday, July 7, 2012 by gmc2 | Discussion: OS Customization
For whatever reasons, I do check out my download counts. Lately I've experienced some discrepancies and was wondering if others might have had a similar experience.
WB: Dark Star; Tuesday I thought I had a download count that was sufficient to make the listing, but didn't. I wrote down Tuesday's numbers and Wednesday it came up okay. Wrote down Wednesday's numbers and even though it should have put DS in the middle of the pack, it was missing. Wrote down Thursday's numbers but the listing wasn't changed Friday. Wrote down yesterday's numbers and had enough to be listed but again was not.
Has anyone else had this kind of experienc

As I discovered thanks to Cavan1 the Yesterday count is referring to the last 3 days and sometime it's not updated daily, hope this helps

If it helps, NONE of the statistics on WC are accurate, they need a complete overhaul.

thank you.

I agree with LightStar , I've never known the statistics to be very accurate, therefore I don't give them much weight.

opps I forgot there are 2 downloads listings ! 
so more precisly the last 3 days count is intended for the "Yesterday" Top Skinners Author list
regarding the Popular Skins list the "Yesterday" count is referring to the last single day anyway I noticed that the skins appear randomly as each skin will not be in the list for more than 2\3 days but it can reappear after 2\3 day

On WinCustomize.com, we take measures to try to provide you with accurate download counts. These download counts can be assumed to be fairly close to the actual # of individuals who have downloaded this skin, theme, wallpaper, or icon package.>>
well in my experience I trust it and after all to do a sum is a very basic operation !

I agree with frankell, it's a simple operation that a kobold could do. why it can't be performed correctly is well...
