Corrections to file stats

I gave a mod with a lot of individual files. I always had the suspicion, that the counter just adds up all individual unique downloads numbers.

 

Great that it's fixed. My 'endorsement to unique downloads' ratio (aka epeen) should skyrocket :-D

 

Edit: not as much as i thought. :-) Odd. SkyUI on the other hand... Wow. ^^

I was wondering why it suddenly changed, thanks for the update.

Could you fix views now as well?

 

1. Don't count the author

2. Count only unique

3. Ignore bots (preferably only logged in)

Oh, this is just awesome. The endorsement ratio on my horse mod is now above 10%, where I expect it to be. Thank you for all you do Dark0ne and staff! Edited March 8, 2016 by sevencardz

While I don't particularly care about the actual number of endorsements a mod receives, the ratio of endorsements to downloads is useful for telling me how people received a particular mod. Therefore, having an accurate count of the unique downloads is useful. I'm glad that you found a way to correct that calculation.

Any idea how long this was going on?

It's not uncommon for me to view a particular mod once or twice a day every day for years.

I do the same as BethJunkie. I often go back to a page several times a day, especially when I know there is an update in the works and if I have the page marked for Notifications I go back whenever I'm notified (usually checking for any particular hints to look out for or possible conflicts/defects/fixes.)

This change is gonna totally throw off my internal scale for endorsements:downloads ratio :-/

Everyone's ratio is gonna be so much higher!
