Hi,

A little post just to point out that the “download counter” (the one on the right of the page) is drunk and decrease sometime 🙂

This morning (Paris UTC time), I already had a lot of download and I do not know if the counter has not reset this night or it’s just that the theme has a lot of download (or if is only the “frontend” counter who is broken).  
These last hours, i have see the counter decrease (~2000 to 1800 at the end of the afternoon and ~1800 to ~1700 this last hour to now.

I don’t know how it’s happen, if it’s only a visual bug, if it’s the same on all product, if it’s just an backend adjustment etc…  
product example : [https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1226052](https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1226052)

(I have not noted the download counter number of the file to compare but I do not have the impression that it decrements sorry)

(this is not my browser cache, i have se same amount on my smartphone)

Wow! we where complaining here ([Rating System](https://forum.opendesktop.org/t/rating-system/17683)) about the opposite. Downloads counter is having a really strange behavior 😓

@daniruiz06

@Rokin stole are downloads 😲

Joking aside, something is really messed up here…  
Also I admire your honesty, most people here would not have said anything, IMO

thx but i do not think the meter used for the pling is affected.  
After if that’s the case anyway I would not say if i’m really winner 🙂

I have take few meter digits (at random time) between the moment I post the initial message and now  
as you can see there is a small problem xD :

```
File Downloads | downloads today 
(the total count) | (the count at the right of the page)
2845 | 1700 (~3h ago)
2853 | 1703
2870 | 1650
2873 | 1617
2893 | 1565
2927 | 1463
2936 | 1180 (now)
```

We apologize for the confusion.  
The number “downloads today” refers to the number of downloads in the last 24 hours.  
The number is therefore not reset daily, but always refers to a full 24 hours.
