Seems like you can get views/downloads on stuff on the forum by just spamclicking the hyperlink to the attachment page...

Look what i did to the download amount... 70 downloads.
(If there's some way to reset the download ammount, then PLEASE reset it
)

Then why did you click it
that many times?
Just delete the attachment and upload it again to reset the count.

I did to see if it would actually get more downloads... It did.
I deleted and reuploaded it
(and clicked it three times to reset to the actual amount of downloads
)

Since people can just cheat their downloads. I mean, like, they could say like "OMG LOOK AT HOW MUCH DOWNLOADS I HAVE!!!!".
It seems like a small bug that needs a small fix...

I guess Luke refers to the title
I just found this... er... yeah... which won't help anyone to find your topic. Apart from that, I don't really think anyone's interested in "cheating" downloads
In this case success isn't as much measured by the number of downloads, but by the number of ToM/CoM votes...
