That means that if someone uses an indirect link, whenever someone looks at that page, it counts as a download. I think there is something wrong with that. Could it (and view counters for articles and reviews) be counted only once for each IP address/account? Sandwich Time!Whoo!

Like, if someone were to submit the Daily Click home page as the download link, then every time someone went to the home page it would count as a download. Also, the same person could download a game 100 times and it would count each time! Sandwich Time!Whoo!

Go try it and see. If it doesn't, then I'll send you a video. Sandwich Time!Whoo!
