Indeed. Especially since they are easy to implement them

I download by rating and review amount... Hit counters could give you false sense. You see a popular download, think: "Hey! I wanna play that too!" and then it turns out to be the worst dmod ever.

But we COULD implement it...

I object 
As well as that newer DMOD's will be downloaded more often...

I don't see the use really...

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
We used to have them.. in the 3D-Downloads age I think.. or was it Telefragged hmm

But anyway, all you could see was the counter because you never got your download

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
For some reason, I'm the only person who liked the 3D-Downloads. I never had any problems with them

No, it wouldn't be cool. Sorry.

Why? There are probably enough numbers and ego-boosting tools here to amuse anyone.

May I know what is being meant with "3D-downloads"?

3D Downloads was one of our former filehosts, when we were hosted by Telefragged several years ago. After that we moved to Gamespy/Fileplanet, and now we're basically independent.

For the record, 3D Downloads almost never worked for anyone.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
Yeah... I could get an a connection with them maybe 30% of the time. The other times, I'd have to keep refreshing and hope it managed to connect.

The trick was just figure out where the file was, as they went to a new 6-number folder on the FTP server every 1-24 hours. The only hard part was resuming paused files. I never really learned how to resume interupted Ftp file tansfers.
