Hey guys,

I've noticed that one of the vids I uploaded to RS has a counter near 2800 dl's. While I would love to think that this many Forumophilia members decided to pick up this vid, I'm sure that this is not the case. I wonder if any of you with more experience with RS than I could give me possible answers. The only one I can come up with is that someone is using my link elsewhere...but even then that's a rather high number for a couple days...any ideas?

Possible answers:

1. There is, or not too long ago used to be, a bug in rapidshare resulting in sometimes unreasonably high download counts for a single file
2. Somebody is reposting your links elsewhere - not at all uncommon
3. You post really good stuff that has a lot of fans.

An overnight jump of 2800 downloads, could be due to a bug... but it's not impossible. However, over time one file can get way over 2800 downloads.
