WHAT THE????????????? :(

Thursday, May 22, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Uh.

My skin should have been in the top downloads. RIGHT?

Defcon is above me even though I had more downloads and came in later yesterday! I'm not even in the showing on Top Downloads and yet I made Top authors with only a 2nd skin? BOOOOOOOO!

Geez. C'mon.

I'm gonna go to bed and have a good cry.

Girl skinners get no respect. hmph! >

KarmaGirl smacks head repeatedly on desk...

 Top downloads = WinCustomize downloads not raw total downloads

all WinCustomize downloads per author added together = top author ranking

Why is this so difficult to understand?

KarmaGirl (still not paying attention)

Boxxi...Thank You!!!

That is all I needed

I completely agree that downloads only be counted that come from Wincustomize.

Thanks

I see now...somehow I thought they were different...smacking myself up side of the head, DUH! Even so, it does seem like those stats should be available so that no one will misunderstand. Something that just crossed my mind, is that if these are based on WC downloads just where are all the other downloads coming from?

O.K...... to save me coming round to your house and pointing at the monitor, I will explain this real careful.......... click on the words "Top Downloads" on the right side of this page, when the new page loads, scroll down to where it says "Top WindowBlinds skins". On the far right are the figures we use to calculate the top downloads. It says "WC Downloads yesterday", these are the figures that determine where the skin will be placed in the top downloads section. Then note that Defcon received more downloads than Lullaby, thereby placing it above lullaby in the Top Downloads section.

I'm sorry, but I can't explain it any clearer than that without being in the room with you.

Zodiaq~, you make my head hurt.....

Top downloads = WinCustomize downloads not raw total downloads

That was as simple as it can be stated.  I guess you just needed BoXXi's visual to be able to understand, I don't know....

KarmaGirl goes back to banging head on desk......

I indeed fully understand the top downloads and how it works what befuddles me and maybe other is... why are so many downloads from WC servers coming from other sources? would this not indicate that there is some serious bandwidth theft going on? deep linking directly to downloads ( zip archives etc. )

I see dead people.....

Static, they come from all over the place (links to the site).  We know where they are coming from, we just don't count them in the downloads.

O.K. I apologise to one and all....I have just been informed that only we admins can see those figures that decide the top authors. I didn't realise you guys couldn't see them. I understand the confusion now.

Please accept my apologies for thinking you were all blind!

Sorry KarmaGirl...

You kept making references to Top Authors.

I didn't see your post #42 before I posted #44

Easy on your head

Phew I was REALLY concerned my orange glasses hid those WC dl stats...The difference is stunning though...over a 1000

I now see why Shmoopy was upset...if Admins can only see those stats it does look a bit funky. I'm still unclear about all those downloads that aren't from WC...who's hot linking? I know Shmoopy sure didn't do any hot linking and it was just uped yesterday so there wouldn't be much of a chance of some site hot linking to it...guess this external downloading is a bit confusing to me.

Phooey...it's not external downloading as such, just a calculation method, which is a secret at the moment as different methods are being appraised. I assume that when one method is decided upon, the information will be available to all.

Thanks BoXXi!
OK..guess it wasn't all explained then..I thought I had missed out on something
Then what you are saying is the system is still experimental and there is nothing written in stone that can be explained. Soo...things may change from day to day until something is decided on. I guess I must have misunderstood when it was said it was all explained in messages posted earlier. I think that clears it up for me for the moment!..or maybe not

Maybe I shouldn't say anything...I don't want to lose it, but I can see those stats. Column heading links on all of those areas are hot.
