Title: Strange dld stats
Post by: madelaide on February 16, 2007, 17:29

In my stats page, I get 123 downloads this year in the "Download, Print, BuyRequest and Extended License Purchases".  Right below it, in the "Regular Downloads By File Type", I get just 111 under photos (default). 

Well, I don't sell anything else than photos at IS - I even checked if something would appear in other options - so why this difference?  2006 figures are ok, so are January's.  I have about 3-4 downloads a day, so if this is not as updated, it is quite behind (although they say "updated daily")

Regards,
Adelaide

I have noticed the same thing and chalked it up to a different update cycle.  If you check it again this weekend, the two stats should become more aligned if my theory is correct, since there are less sales over the weekend.

If so, they should change the "updated daily" note to something else.  If they update daily with the numbers of days ago, it doesn't make much sense!  :)
