I wonder.... How big percentage of you actually download a track if you're at the GPL Track Database and decide to click on the "Get track" button to go to the official download site? Not everyone I guess but if you do click on the button I guess most of you are pretty sure you want to try the track out? Then again there are quite a few track downloads that don't originate from that "Get track" button If you host a GPL addon track and know the number of downloads, what is the proportion between your download figures and the number of clicks for your track at the database? Anyway, the counter counting everytime you click on that button is just about to wrap around from 999 thousand to 1 million! And following the thoughts above, this surely means 1 million track downloads!! Quite mind boggling when you think about it. __________________ /Magnus Thom� The GPL Track Database: http://trackdb.d2g.com
I know! Amazing, isn't it? Of course, half the hits are probably mine - I check the GPL Track Database at least 3 times a day.... "MagnusT" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

That's why there's been are over 2 million database searches and 5+ million page hits ;-) But 1 million track downloads... Mind boggling isn't it!

Hopefully stats like that will keep Kaemmer warm at night while he's busy working on whatever it is he's working on :-) Andrew McP

To Magnus, I give you my thanks and appreciation. And I extend those thoughts to the track builders, mod makers, painters, websites. Your efforts, and I would assume sometimes costly efforts, have made simming a great place to be. Well done lad. dave henrie
