    Forgive me for being stubborn, but I find it a little frustrating that people can review a mod without even downloading it. It's like reviewing a game without even playing it. I'm not saying my mod is any better than other mods, but its just unfair to see reviews on something that wasn't even used.

    They can't review without downloading, I tried before. What's probably actually happening is that the "quick install" feature is not counting as a download.

    Any change of getting the download data from the CDN to restore the missed download count?

    I think i fixed the download counters for manual downloads at least.
    the CDN data only measures bulk data, not single requests. I wouldn't worry too much about the download count, they will go up anyways :)

    Of course, but new mods are generally downloaded more than older mods, so this does somewhat skew the statistics on the relative popularity of mine. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice data to have.
