Most Popular Mods

[Adrek]

How are mods picked up to this table with "Most Popular Mods"? It's based on what?

I'm asking, because somehow my small mod, well.. actually it's BBCode (Progress Bar BBCode => http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3436 ) is there at 4 place

Congratulations!  I'll wait for someone more experienced with these things to let us know what time-period your popularity is measured in -- days? weeks?

Experts have found, displayed, and discussed the code involved.

To my eye, it looks like this:
For each mod that has been updated in the last 365 days, count how many times it has been downloaded in the past week.
Then they are ranked by how often they have been downloaded in the past 7 days.

Congratulations again on having creating such a popular mod.

Thanks to Suki and emanuele for digging up and discussing the code responsible for these statistics.

Thanks

So what are this big numbers next to mods (Top 10 Most Popular Mods) here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=stats ?
Average download count in past 7 days?

[Angelina Belle]

I believe that is the average number of downloads per day for the past 7 days.

Thanks for explaining

[Angelina Belle]

Maybe we'll request an informational tooltip in the next update to that code.

No matter how you slice it -- congratulations on writing such a popular mod.

By any chance does there exists a workaround on the abuse of the K/S system where the smite is disabled but can still be accessed via a browser rewrite?
