    Download count reset

    Why does the download count for a project file reset when uploading a file with exatly the same filename ( when you fix a bug ). Thats not great for ranking :) Could you change that or give me your thoughts on this?

    Hi Anders, I noticed this too on my updated packages.

    It looks like each new file upload gets a new database ID, (regardless of it's filename). You can see this when you hover over the download link (i.e. "FileDownload.aspx?id=XXX")

    The download counter must be associated with that ID - rather than the project itself.

    Couple of solutions:

    1. Better labelling of the download counter. i.e. "Number of downloads of [Filename + Version #]"
    2. Various counters. i.e. "Number of downloads of latest version", "Overall number of project downloads", etc?

    Cheers, Lee.
