Total Posts: 7 | I was looking through the File Stats section of the site. I noticed that there are a couple ways you can sort games. What does the DL/Day sorting opltion mean. I think it ranks files based on downloads per day. Please explain. |

As with DL/Day, its kinda like overall downloadabilty of a file. I think it's a bit more than just plain downloads per day as if I recall correctly it also used other file info in a formula to determine that number. Think of it as overall file downloadabilty, higher number means more popular.
Authors section has similar rankings with overall author file downloadabilty which is also formualted with numbers such as total files and such.
I hope that kinda sums it up for you. :)

Total Posts: 2486 | Because the day divisor would be less than 1. That would only be a problem if there were a bunch of downloads I think but B's idea keeps bs to the minimum. :)

Total Posts: 2007 | You know Z, if you wanted to prevent that really easily, you could have the script check to see if the number of days is < 1, and if it is, ceiling it so it doesn't divide by a ludicrously small number.
Just a thought. |
