I'm not trying to dissuade you from updating the map. That's something you should decide based on your desires, but you have to remember that the greatest majority of those that download don't participate in the forums, so whether or not those that downloaded enjoyed the map, or even played it, remains unknown.
Also, due to scripting and MySQL database concerns, it's
extremely difficult for the script to only count completed downloads. What that means is that if someone starts a download and doesn't finish it, for some reason - like a connection drop - and then they download it again, and possibly a third or even fourth time, all counts as individual downloads.
Basically, that means that one completed download could actually count as 4 (
or more) downloads. Plus the fact that a lot of people use download managers, which split the file into chunks, download the separate chunks, then join the chunks back together after download, will also count as more than one download, according to the download counter written into he script and how many chunks their chosen download manager is set up for.
For those reasons, the fact that this new script I'm using no longer displays the download count was not a concern for me, since the counts are not really an accurate, actual download count.
Does all that make sense?
