UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums General Suggestions and Feedback Download Counter Issues

I'm thinking, with the download counter, if you want to increase the popularity of your download, go click on it a couple hundred times, walah, your file has been downloaded a few hundred times... or so it seems...

IMO this is a bug, I mean, some people would use the download counter to track popularity of a file, and by increasing it just for it being downloaded can lead to non-correct information...

Perhaps we need a way to track if the file has been downloaded by a certain user/ip before?

My example, look at my dl count of my attached file.

Such popularity, 120 downloads in 51 seconds! lol

123 in 50 seconds

That's a great game that,
takes a little practice but you get the hang of it.

I never thought of that,
but yes could be exploited

haha exactly... I was just screwing around and thought "I wonder if this would work" and sure enough lol...
