Downloads on screenshots changed with the new site. Everytime it was viewed it was considered a download, because you are downloading an image. Even if you click on the download button, you are still doing the same thing, just downloading an image. It used to be that every time it was viewed, you would get credit for a download. That is how I and some others got over 10,000 downloads. I have since deleted all but a handful of my screenshots, because it is not right to compare an image to a skin. In other words, I should not get 10,000 credited downloads for a screenshot that it took maybe a half hour to create, when someone spends three months on a windowblind and receives the same 10,000 downloads. No matter how important or unimportant screenies are (and I believe they have their place), they are not skinning. They are assembling others' skins. I am still not a skinner.
Anyway (too much caffeine) Now, I believe that screenshots are figured at a percentage (just a guess). If it is viewed 50 or 100 times it is counted as 1, or something like that. I just know that there used to be 3,000 or 4,000 "downloads" on a good screeny and now there are 10.
Just a guess
