Thus, going from 10 to 100 downloads increases your score the same amount as going from 10,000 to 100,000 downloads. So actually, while download numbers help, also look at large increases in other SF things. For instance, increased use of the tracker (due to translators posting patches, or new users reporting bugs) could be contributing more to our score than the raw download numbers. Bryce
