    Hello,

    According to BukkitDev right now, the latest version of one of my plugins has been downloaded about 16500 times. Now, although I would be delighted if that were true, it seems extraordinarily unlikely considering its previous - more modist - performance.

    I am hoping that this could be investigated/fixed, so that I get my plugin's true metrics (and to squash any potential bug that caused it!)

    Download Counts don't update in real-time, they update every 24(? - not sure) hours.

    This is kind of a given because of the immense traffic DBO receives every day.

    Thank you, TnT, much appreciated.

    SSPX, I expect this is true, but it wouldn't explain the problem. My plugin has received too many downloads.

    Your file actually got downloaded 16,000 times. However, since it was from a single source, it won't give you any Curse rewards as a result.

    Thank you for looking into that. Would it be possible, for the purposes of transparency, to remove all of the downloads from that source, seeing as they obviously weren't genuine interest in the plugin?

    Edit: to confirm, you are saying that the 16000 downloads all originated from the same machine?

    Correct. Not sure we can easily remove the download count.

    TnT Okay then, thank you for your help. I'd appreciate it if the downloads were to be removed, but if not I'm not too worried.
