You saying it is too high or too low? If too high, keep in mind not everyone comes to t.m.o and a lot that do usually just lurk.

If it is too low, then I might be in the same boat. Excitedly I looked for Dialcentrals download count to see it totalling at 45K. Disappointed that a young whippersnapper like qgvdial might be outdoing me, I checked some of my other apps and their download counts were in the expected range. I then checked the download page which claims it at 151K.

Just some points to consider when looking at both this data and the downloads page data.

Something else that ties into download counts is updates. Release a lot of updates then you get a higher count.

The main thing I get out of looking at the download statistics is sadness for how many people run software out of extras-devel.
