The popular files section of the menu has been changed. It is now sorted by downloads per (day+1)... the reason it's downloads per (day+1) is so that brand new files that have been in the archives for a matter of minutes with 2 or 3 downloads could have a downloads per day rating of several hundred or thousand (generally the file archiver will download it once immediately to make sure the link works).

Anyway, I think another thing i'll do is add "Top Rated Files" (with at least 5 or so votes). I'm hoping that we have enough (mature) visitors that the "self correcting" aspect will hold true (if a bad file is at the top, someone will see it and rate it down).

well that was pretty easy... top rated files are added. Please don't do any immature downrating.

He did. Isn't that amazing? I have this theory that admins can see what you are about to post before you even post it... whoa...

now ratings have been added to the file stats pages. it will only show a rating if there are at least 5 votes. (and will only include files in the "sortby rating" pages at all if there are at least 5.)

Yeah, very nice addition B. We may also want to create a dedicated page with a more detailed stats or perhaps just an extended list of what we see on the side menu just so people can see how other files rank up.
